For team “Glassbotics” was assigned to design and build a spherical robot (RPR). This week we started discussion on how it is supposed to move. We thought about using stepper motors for the rotative sections, but since we might need to know position, we endep up chossing servos. For the structure and gears, we are going to use MDF because of its low price and kind of reliability for this type of project. For the clamp, we’re thinking on implementing an ultrasonic sensor in order to measure the distance between the object and the clamp itself.
