Devlog #1

So I planned to build a robot tele-presenter but there isn’t really enough time to finish the whole thing so I will just be building a mecanum wheeled drivetrain with simple odometry to track its position.

So far I have:

• Finished the CAD for the whole build, but I am only able to finish the drive train in time
• Create the board of materials

This part took a while because I had to come up with a mechanism to raise and lower the camera. I was ale to make it work using two rack and pinion setups attached to one another.

Next I will be ordering the parts and assembling them as well as starting to write some code for the controls.

This robot will be ran on an ESP 32 for now but I will definitely be using a raspberry pi later for some harder calculations.

Below is the intended CAD of my robot and the drive train that I will be building
