Chassis Testing

Today consisted of testing the chassis and its ability to traverse the vertical board. Testing initially went well until one of the drive gears began to slip on the drive shaft. This required disassembly of the offending drive unit, and re-tightening of the grub screws.

Once this was accomplished, the chassis proved adept at traversing the board. It was capable of travelling vertically and turning almost on point. It is unlikely that this configuration of robot will ever tutn exactly on point as the tacky nature of the wheels will prevent slippage on the one that is stationary.
