We have receieved our order for high friction rubber wheels, which will be used as our rear wheels.
We opted to use the stock wheels as our front wheels itself, as they have low friction and hence, it will be easy to turn around. We tested our machine with the dual motor and our machine moved perfectly fine and even turning wasn't any issue.
However, while testing our gate we noticed that there wasn't enough torque to lift the gate up at all. Hence, we changed the gear ratio from 20:1 to 400:1. Hence, with an immense increase in torque, the gate is easily lifted now with great ease.
We have finished engineering the tower. however, we are now deciding about how to go about engineering the net that will be connected between the tower and the hole.
