We have decided to pursue a very different design than most teams.Since the competition will be taking place in the water, almost everyone has gone with boat designs. However, since the water is so shallow, we decided it would be fun to make a design that rolls across the fountain floor. This design still has a deck with flotation and a single set of wheels. The flotation of the deck causes the wheels to be cantilevered into the fountain floor.
With this design, we may not move as quickly, but should have very good rotational maneuverability making it hard to line up and pop our balloon.
In addition, we have built both of our XBee boards.
