Hardware

To build the robot, many different materials are needed. The computer and game controller are used to program the bot’s brain. Car-window batteries, and leaf-blower batteries are used to power the robot and all of its many components. The wooden board is temporary. Once the body of the bot is ready, the electronics will be taken off of the board and mounted in the bot. Hundreds of mathematical calculations are needed to determine the size, weight, ect of the bot.
