BallBot Devlog #1
Today I started the physical build of BallBot by working on the base of the chassis and planning where the motors and electronics will go. I figured out the dimensions and layout for the different sections of the robot and started thinking about how to keep the electronics organized and accessible. I also ran into an issue with the DC motor wires not being long enough to reach the electronics compartment on top of the box where the balls will be. So, I planned to extend them while keeping the connections secure. This gave me a better idea of how everything will fit together before I move on to mounting the electronics and build the collection mechanism for the balls. Tomorrow I’ll be doing a lot like make the electronics section, wire everything correctly, and try to get to making it work altogether.
