Currently, the dune buggy is well underway. My partner and I have made great strides in the construction of our project since the beginning of the new marking period. At the start, we had our frame and propulsion. However, we changed our propulsion from a tire system to a tank tread system and added an all wheel drive propulsion system instead of just a four wheel drive system. We also added a camera arm that allows for multiple degrees of rotation in every axis. We also attached the claw to the vehicle, which can open and close and hold up to 400 grams of weight (from our preliminary testing, we determined that this weight could be held).
By this Friday, we intend to have the scoop fully completed and operational on the vehicle. We have a basic idea in place and now we just need to implement it and construct it. Also, we will have the camera sending a live stream to a computer. Currently, the camera can only send video to a television with standard video and sound inputs. These inputs cannot be put into a computer. However, we have software in our possession that will convert these signals into something that a regular computer can read and will allow for field study.
