Week 4 and Week 5

Next step to do after buy the material is a plug in the materials to become the real robot.

Step 1:
- Remove the cover from the telephone holder and pull out the speaker, microphone and jack.


Step 2: Drill
- Drill 4 holes each end of the telephone holder as picture below

Step 3: The first motor
- Put the first servo motor on the telephone holder

Step 4: The second motor
-  Put the second servo motor on the telephone holder
-  Zip tie them both in place using the hole that I have drilled in step 2

Step 5: Drill the CDs
- Make the hole at the right side and left side on the CDs


Step 6: Bolt
- Pass the bolt through the notched CD, towards the body of the phone. Pass the other bolts through the other CD
- Fasten all of them in place with nuts.
- Cover all of the bolts with rubber bolt covers to give them a bit more traction 

Step 7: Attach CDs

- After done the step 6, zip tie the CD to the motor in such way that the motor is at the center of its rotation point and the two outer holes are perpendicular to the telephone.

Week 2

After my robot got approve from my supervisor, I start list down the things and component to buy.

I try to build the robot same like this picture. But I'm not sure if I can do it this robot for my Final Project and also my robot for the Intersection Robotic Challenge. 

FYP 2: Week 1

On the first week after semester break, I see the supervisor to show him a few examples of robot design that I have found. 

According to the previous semester for the robot types, I prefer the 4 legs robot for my competition. I choose 4 legs robot because this robot more stable compare to the biped robot and for the hexapod robot, it is more expensive and difficult to build up. After the discussion with my supervisor, he agree with my suggestion robot.

Now, this is the beginning for me to start and finish up overall of my Final Year Project!!!!!!!
