We have a bunch of part drawings for the Quad Rover from Parallax. It will be a good idea to convert some of these to solid models. We should at least model the chassis, then we can get a better idea of the modifications that need to be made, if any. Model entire rover?
I have made a power calculator in excel to get an idea of how much power we will need to get this rover moving. The calculator lets you change the weight, top speed, how fast it reaches the top speed, incline, wheel radius, and rolling friction coefficient.
