How To Make A Robot?

[skylar]

Before we decide to what to include the class, we need to know what jobs are involved to make a robot. This is an inventory of our steps (anticipated):

• 3D-print robot frame
• solder wires to sensors
• solder engine wires to drivers
• solder breakaway header pins to drivers for breadboard mount
• mount motors
• assemble robot frame w/ nuts and bolts
• mount breadboard, sensors
• decorate robot?
• wire up the breadboard (power, sensors, drivers, power switch)
• collect / customize the code? testing code?
• flash code onto microcontroller
• play!

any intermediate steps? testing? power analysis? circuit/connection testing?
