The creation of the Chasso it's been proving to be a more difficult task than we expected. We want to build a robot with a platform for carrying a laptop (we need processor capacity for facial recognition), but all we have for the robot platform is a Lego NXT kit.
Today we did some tests with a different platform (a wood version). We encountered several problems:
- Engines do not respond at the same speed if not paired;
- The lack of maneuverability is too much for what we need;
- The engines don't work at the same speed, even when paired;
- And more small problems.
We decided we should create a 3rd prototype (only with lego parts), this one using the 3rd engine we were planning on using on the ultrasonic sensor to instead using it on a steering direction. Let's hope tomorrow we can have some good news.
