2008-09-25 Calgary K-9 Robot New Drivetrain
The old drivetrain that k-9 was using was a modified tractor base. I modified it to use servos instead of the motors. The problem was, the tractor treads would fall off on stick surfaces and carpet.
The new system uses two wheels and 2 ballbearings for pivot and drag.
I also added the EMIC Speech Circuit which allows him to talk.
And the third thing that was added was the new circuit board that i had printed. No longer do i have the wired mess... His brain is now nice and modular.
