Weekly Report 3
This week I purchased my servos and will be finishing the 3d renderings of the robot in solidworks. I also received my programmer and NiMH batteries. I also thought up solutions to many of the problems I was planning to have, such as the small amount of processing power for math and weight distribution. I spent a lot of time researching batteries and ways to power my servos, which take much more power than standard servos (running current draw has been recorded at over 2A each in most cases) because of this I will most likely be using a LiPo battery due to their high current output and higher charge to weight ratio.
