Transfer the Load with Winch Challenge - Day 2

NXT Brick used for base

Last class was the second day of robot construction. We mostly worked on the base of the robot, which the two motors would rest on. The base's foundation was the NXT brick to counterbalance the weight of the mass the robot would be lifting. We attached Legos to the brick that acted as legs and axles that acted as a platform. The motors fit perfectly on top of the axle-platform, but the only problem was that it lacked stability, especially when pressure was put against it. We were told that for this challenge, we could only use the provided Legos and string. To further stabilize the motors resting above the structure, we used string to tie it to the base. By next class, we need to test whether or not the string interferes with the robot's movement and functions.
