At present, the report has been broken up into two parts - mech and
electronics h/w.

Mech part -
It was decided on Monday that the following people(who had been briefed
on our general requirements) will work together and come up with a
short writeup on the design by Thursday -

Akshat Kaul
Sairam
Shubham
Mayank Nagpal

NOTE TO THESE GUYS - The writeup should include - rough dimesions,
predicted cost, and if possible a diagram.

We will sit down and make this into a report on Thursday itself.

Electronics h/w part -

Karan Jain is in charge of writing this report, also due by Thursday.

Website - Rishi Nag is in charge of the website and can be contacted at
ieeensi...@yahoo.co.in. Please be patient as it my take one or two
days to work out the glitches in the site.

dudes have you considered that due to the popularity of robowars, a very large number of motored bases of appropriate sizes already exist?
this means that it is possible to just mount the motherboard onto an existing base with no further hassles. consider that the robowars robot made by shubham requires only slight modification before it can report for guard duty ;).

helloo again..
the men who matter asked for prelim design description, so i give u THE PRELIM DESIGN DESCRIPTION:

The base is a 2*4 feet piece of wood of 2 inch thickness. the motors and batteries can be mounted on top or bottom depending on the req. Bottom mounting means that there is one surface free for mounting the board but the mounting on top will be more stable ( though not much more) and the motors will be less prone to damage .anyway i suggest bottom mounting as the terrain to be handled will not be very challenging.

two motors will be attached to two opposite wheels. turning will be achieved by stopping one motor and running the other. the remaining two wheels will be either free or belt driven using the aforementioned 2 motors. the machine need not have a front or backside and the weight of the batteries and the motors should be evenly distributed.

the control can be either infrared or rf depending on the range required etc.

thats it.

I am waiting for consensus by other members of mechanical design team on the prelim design description
Also, has this design been developed in consultation with other people (team) , or is this a one man effort ?

to the dudes
i did this alone. i dont think there's much to discuss at the moment. this stuff is pretty obvious :) .still, if anything needs to be changed, u know where to find me.
