Flow Loop, Object Manipulation, Power, and Controls
The electronics box was mounted on the board next to the compressor using 1/4" bolts to secure it to the plywood. The electrical rail from the flow loop was attached to the side of the electronics box and the connections were made to the appropriate headers. The battery was placed at next to the air tank near the center of the board to try to evenly distribute the weight. Alligator clips were used to attach the power board to the battery so it could easily be replaced if the battery dies.
Navigation System Integration
The final part to assemble the project was to attach the plywood board to the frame. This was done using C-clamps. This was done so the board could easily be removed to make any frame repairs. Once finalized, bolts could be used to secure the plywood to the frame more permanently. The wires for the motors were attached and secured to the plywood to complete the build. The final product of the build can be seen below.
