Elroy

Description

You can see the suspension elements in this shot. That is going away soon however. Replaced with a motor and chain/sprockets attached to the center axle to level the payload via the IMU signals. The IMU is mounted to the top of the computer's case so its a good reference for the payload level. This is necessary to go to a bogie suspension and 6 wheels like the Mars rovers. The bot is fairly powerful at 8Nm of torque. A 125cc dirt bike is around 12 so plenty of power for the lightweight bot. However that lack of weight makes for traction problems that go away with the bogie system and 6 wheels.
