Robot Symphony - Adjustment & Assembly

Adjustment & Assembly - One Step Back, Two Steps Forward

            Due to a lack of time, we've unfortunately had to simplify our project. The changes made will still mean our xylophone is our main noise maker, but we'll produce that sound in a different way. This post will be to keep our followers in the loop.

How Things are Looking --
     We've made a few changes to our design; but don't worry, they aren't dire. Initially we planned to have a xylophone that was struck by projectiles, but with our current timeline and the deadlines that have already been set, we just don't think that we'll have a finished product in time.

       Our new design utilizes the xylophone mallets to strike, and the mallets will be controlled using DC Motors. We've already begun our new build, here's first look:

DC Motors up and running!

     As more is made, more pictures will come. We will keep you all posted.
