Week 10 Update

This week the final assembly was completed. The bushings were screwed onto the motor shafts. The wheels were pressed onto the bushings. The microcontroller was mounted on the top plate via acrylic brackets. A better suited ball was chosen for a better frictional surface. 

New ball with the robot on top.
