Chassis Development
As a group we thought of many different ideas for the chassis, Then we narrowed down as we thought most of these ideas were not realistic for a number of reasons, such as rigidity and being difficult to build.
The size of the buggy was determined by the circuitry which is to go inside it. Once we had
got a basic idea of the electronics side of the project we could then start to construct the
chassis. This determined the positioning of the sensors, motors and the front skid. We
decided to position the line follower sensor in such a way to enable it to handle the tightest
corners.
The circuit boards are mounted to the chassis using meccano with nuts and bolts.

We decided to build our chassis with plywood which would have given us more liberty to change the chassis to fit the circuitry. Although, when the chassis idea was developed it looked very robust but it is not very adaptable in the final stages of the project. So therefore we changed our option of our chassis to meccano.
Using meccano to build the chassis is the most feasible and practical idea because it holds no limitations. If the design of the chssis needs to be changed at any point it can easily be done.
