Test and report on prototype V1

We equipped Trevor with a electric engine and a solar panel to get the energy. The electric engine is equipped with a gear that is driving the gear attached to the rear wheels axis. 

Results :
  • Trevor is moving forward !
  • The frame isn't rigid enough
  • The front wheel doesn't rotate and is blocked
  • The anti-block system isn't reliable
Conclusions :
  • We need to change the frame from cardboard to a more serious material : we decided to try with Lego Technic ©. They will have the benefit to offer a variety of axis, wheels and gears that can be easily and reliably assembled together
  • We have to find an other anti-block system : check next post...
