This robot has two main parts: The main body, and the trailer. The main body has sections too. It has the base and the sensors.
The base is made up of three motors and two wheel mechanisms, which put the wheels on an angle. The wheels are directly connected to the motors, making the system direct drive. The reason the wheels are at such angle is because if it needs to fly somewhere (Like to the top of a cliff), it can use it’s wheels as propellers to fly up, up, and away! The sensor on the robot is an ultrasonic sensor, but it can use many different sensors, tools, and wheels for different missions. It can go almost anywhere due to it’s design, but there’s one problem. In order for it to swivel it’s sensors, it needs to pull a solar generator (Power Functions battery box) to power the motors (Power Functions motors) that swivel the sensors.
Note: The reason I didn’t take pictures of the other side is because it is exactly the same.
