Week 37: The week for final phase of building

Sep 10th, 2008 9:24:04 am - Subscribe

Dear visitor,
The team of university of Oulu has already started the third last week with great enthusiasm. During this week the team will test the improved version of the tracks. The tracks are equipped with kind of cantilevers for better traction.

The second thing to build during this week is the manipulators tool for collecting the sample. We already have the first tested version, but we need to have the emptying capability for clearing out the sample for the scale.

We try to add some video or picture material along the line.

We have already made some great breakthrough with the track system and climbing the steep slope, but there are still lots of things to do before we have to back the robot for shipment (on week 40).
