Chassis time

 Today we put our craft hat on and sat together to build a chassis for our bot. We decided to build something with thin wood and a glue gun and something that doesn't block our sensors.


We then brainstormed a bit on how to create an attachment on our chassis to collect the cans in eco disaster challenge. We had 2 ideas...

Prototype for attachment idea-1 looked like this..

The second idea involved lollypop sticks :)
Here is a short video showcasing our attachments.
 

Finally it is time to paint our chassis and make it look cool. Well... it looks alright. Maybe we can better it.. that's for another day.
