| + | We started off week Three with tumbler bot racing. Some pretty hard fought races, trying to remember right from left and front from back when the robot tumbles and goes the other way. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We then talked about how different wheel sizes and textures would change the configuration of the robot. Each team swapped out the 4" wheels for smaller, bigger, omni's and a set of tank treads. We then raced again to see what the changes were. Lastly we had a mini sumo pushing contest. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After sorting wheel configurations out, we talked about two, four, six, eight and tank configurations. Discussions about narrow and wide chassis on steering was next. To overcome that we talked about turnable car steering, to crab/swerve set up. Everyone got to drive an omni drive and talk about the controls to drive it. | ||

| + | Next week we will be talking about grippers and transforming the tumbler bots into pronto bots | ||
