nothing but problimos. have to redesign how the wheels fit
on to the robot. which means changing how the gear trains
and motors fit ect. problem is when wheels r moving bolts
that hold them on will tighten or loosen on the axel.
loosen the wheel will fall off tightening will result in
the wheel not being able to move and the robots steering
and power seriosly altered. also adding relays to the
robot, right not it is controled by switches on power cord
wire after following the robot by about 3 feet of cord i
put adaptors on so i could attach extesion cords and steer
from any distance away the problem was it droped the
current to much to go the distance so adding reallys will
compensate and allow me to control from a greater distance
away. then later will be able to attache them to a micro
pic controler and not have to worry about burnig it out.
w/ the car battery. another problem is its top heavy.
drives fine on flat ground but we decided to take it
outside for a test drive to go ba haing in the snow and it
tipped over. having a 12 gallon hoover shop vac for a body
w/ the battery located in the top tank and wiring in the
bottom. also haven't finished the lights i began designing
last year.
