Hardware Assembly

I bought a standard Robot chassis from a local store for $4. We have the BO motors on the left and right sides of the Chassis and a ball caster for balancing weight.

Next, we mount the IR Sensors as shown below and it turns like this.

Now we fix the Arty S7-50 and the Motor driver to the chassis. I've got 2 Lithium-ion cells to run this robot. These cells are connected in series to provide 7.4V. This can be replaced with Li-Po batteries too.

And now the Hardware is ready. The mounting was very simple to set up. We will be programming our final code in our next blog. Stay tuned!
