Sensor Mounting

01st and 3rd Nov 2012 - The third and fourth meeting was about setting the sensors on the robot. But we built the structure on the opposite side of the wheels because of lack of connection points.This means less weight on the wheels.

We made a base where we built a frame on.
On it we installed a light sensor and touch sensor.

Here's the Light Sensor mounted on the frame. We tried to make it close to the ground for a more accurate reading. Also, the yellow and black support structure was a solution to substitute the 3rd wheel. In this picture we can't see but there's another one on the opposite side. We later altered this for just 1 support on the middle. Having 2 supports caused that the misalignment on the chassis to prevent a good wheel contact. 

We installed the touch sensor mid height. The purpose is for it to detect the barriers.

On top there's the sonar structure, which will rotate on a 180 degree angle, controlled by a 3rd NXT motor.

 

We also built the characters of the game and barriers

 All sensors mounted on the robot. Toast Man in all his mightyness!

Final result.
