Ball Contact: Coordinates

           As we begin the construction the general frame of the Ball Balancing Robot, it is essential that one gathers as much information as possible. An important piece to the construction is to find where the ball is in contact with the motors. In finding the point of contact we can begin sketches and construction around these three important coordinates.

          These coordinates could be easily found by using a series of algebraic moves. By knowing the angles that separate each motor in three dimensional space and the radius of the ball these coordinates can be solved for.

          The following work is shown below:
