Final Prototype Stage

The bot has hit a few road blocks in design.  Today the "finished" Prototype can drive on its own.  The purpose part of the bot, or the fabreze spraying part, isn't functional.  The design is all in place, but due to road blocks in the base part it was put on hold.

Our bot has been affectionately named "Stacy's Mom". As of 1 PM today the base part of the bot was fully operational.  It moved on its own in a circle, as planned.  As of 1:30, at the time of our final test run before display, it broke.  The wire came out of the main motor and required soldering which at this time, we do not have time to get to and solder the part.  We are attempting to switch the motor and hopefully get it running for the Expo at 2:30. Stacy's Mom is back in business we tape the wires to the motor because we didn't have enough time to solder then back on.

Here are all of our design parts that have not been cut.  The other parts will be on display at the expo.
