Mechanical Design

The mechanical design for this demo was created in AutoDesk Inventor. The chassis is divided into a base and top to hold different components. The base and top chassis are connected by pegs and the wheels are attached directly to the axels on the XL-320 servos.

The batteries are all attached to the top of the base chassis and the XL-320 servos are attached to the bottom. The Raspberry Pi and OpenCM are attached to the top of the top chassis while all the wires connecting everything are secured to the underside of the top chassis. Finally, the camera is secured between the base and top chassis to keep it at an appropriate height to see the walls of the maze.

Below is a model of the design fully assembled without the electrical components.
