Feynman 2

Built 2002

Feynman 2

Feynman 2 was a complete chassis redesign using pine wood, giving the robot a much lower center of gravity and sturdier platform for real-world testing.

Specifications

Chassis 100% pine - 3/8" plywood base and 1"x8" pine framing
Power AC via old PC power supply providing 12V and 5V
Movement 2 cordless drill motors with timing belt sprockets, 6" lawn mower wheels
Sensors 3 Sharp GP2D02 IR, 3 Sonar 6500 modules, 2 bump switches, Vector 2x Compass, Logitech webcam
CPU / OS AMD K6-2 500MHz, Windows 2000, Visual Basic 6.0

Notes

The lower center of gravity and sturdy chassis allowed more actual field testing than any previous robot.
