    66The team purchased a [https://www.andymark.com/peanut-chassis-robot-drive-system-p/am-3417.htm peanut chassis] and need to design a robot around it that should include the drive base (the purchased kit), a control system, camera(s), sensors, and a mechanism to make it do something useful.

    8 This project involves design and construction of a [http://www.andymark.com/peanut-chassis-robot-drive-system-p/am-3417.htm peanut robot]: a small robot with four wheels, two motors, and an aluminum drive frame that is box-shaped to contain all the internal parts of the robot. Currently, our team has two assembled peanut robots and two that are not assembled.

    108The peanut robots serve several purposes including providing a training and code-testing platform for control systems and a mobile platform for testing mechanisms.  Building these bots will give all participants a rough idea of what building a robot is really like, from the design to assembly to control and schedule to get it all working. These peanut bots should include or accommodate a mechanism, cameras, sensors, etc. to give the team the experience of building a real game robot.  This project may involve a mix of beginner and experienced students.
