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?
