Today we received our newest 3D-printed parts. Which weren´t as sturdy and ridged as we hoped. So we did a lot of remodeling and changed the geometry of the parts. So later we will bring these new Models to the printers. We also mapped the size of the vehicle and did a shitty prototype of the parts that will hold the axis and the vehicle body itself. We also took a look at the wheels and how they will fit to our axis.
Today we started our Hackaday documentation for the project. We documented the parts we needed, and the data we already had and we published the Logs of the first two sessions. After that, we continued brainstorming together for new ideas we could add to our project. We had a big problem with not starting and overthinking. This made us determined to start building prototypes as soon as possible to find more structure in our work. During this session, we had the idea of building a dispenser for disinfectant and putting it on top of the car. This project could be used in public environments, it would make access to disinfectant spray easier.
This session was mostly dedicated to furthering our knowledge of Arduino and the circuits. We had the Idea of Using a Line-following sensor for the project or an Acceleratorgyro. So we prepared a working Code for the Acceleratorgyro. But still, we like the idea of using a Line-following sensor.
Also, we spent the time Brainstorming new ideas for the utility of the Project car. So the following idea we liked was a Firefighter car. It would work using a water pump. The other idea was a farm vehicle, that could dig the ground, plant seeds, and water them.
An idea we discarded was an Automatic selfie car, which angle and distance to the person you can adjust freely.
On this day we decided our Project should have wheels. So we were looking for creative ways to power the wheels without having the motor directly power each wheel. So we came up with the idea of using a differential gear (Fusion data on the page). This not only allows the motor to power 2 Wheels at once but also allows the wheels to turn at different speeds. This makes our future Project perfect for driving curves with maximum stability.
But we still need to edit the Fusion Program and change its size.
Ideas we had but discarded were:
Having a belt turn back and front wheel (Tank like).
Having no wheels, but hooks like our shitty prototype.

Modern automakers try to satisfy the desires of their consumers and release to the market those cars that will really be in demand. For example, the Opel Zafira https://opel-vidi.com.ua/ru/model-lineup/zafira-life/configuration was produced for commercial needs. In addition, a large family with many people, for example, can buy it. In addition, additional equipment systems can be added to the car to make it more comfortable to drive.
