Improve Robot Structure

01th Dec 2012 - In seventh meeting we discussed about robot structure because we noticed it was very heavy, specially in front part. This fact gave us a problem because the pivot was handling a heavy weight, because of that, it didn´t slide well.

Well, to solve this problem, we rebuilt the robot front part and improved its behavior.

Furthermore we replaced the wheels, because the old onces had a bad friction, and this fact was bringing some problems when turning (left/right) the robot.

In the end of the day we already could movement the robot on the table in static mode, run straight ahead and turn the right. To show how the robot is in this step we produced a small video, you can see below.

The next step maybe we'll improve the movements and create a random movements on the table.
