Designing the Robot Chassis with Google Sketchup

Today, I spent the majority of the day learning Google Sketchup and making the parts and models that belong on the robot. However, I am running into a few mechanical considerations.

1) the camera is LARGER than I expected. I need to consider taking the camera out of the bubble and/or extending it from the base.

2) the Router is also LARGE. Where should I stick this thing? We also need room for sensors and a battery. Crap... I only have so many links for the car, so it will be more difficult to increase the length of the robot.

Too bad I am not a mechanical engineer...



I hope my team members can give me some suggestions on how to fix this issue of space.
