• Updated Official Rules Ø Given Grams: 63, 126, & 189 Ø Cask Order Not Important Ø Gram Accuracy Not Important • Design Changes

Just to Remind You

Updated Design Block Diagram

Under Wraps . Completed Work Ø Wheel Type Ø Wheel Arrangement Ø Chassis Design Ø Strain Gauge Prototype

Under Wraps Drive Train and Chassis Design → Omnidirectional → Independent Control → Stable → Monitored .

At This Time The Turnstile • Time Efficiency • Unique . Current Work

At This Time . Current Work The PSo. C • PID Control • Strain Gauges • Sensory Input • Lower Level Commands

Coming Soon Future Work • Light Sensor Array • Power Regulation • Electronics Mounting • Lift Creation .

Coming Soon . Future Work • PSo. C programming for sensor data • PSo. C to XBC Communication • PSo. C to PSo. C Communication • Systems Integration and Testing

• HAZMAT Handling Robot • Design Useful in other Real World Application • Omnidirectional Movement • Rotating Lift for Maximum Time Efficiency • PSo. C to Handle Low Level Commands

• Happy Clients • Currently On or Ahead of Schedule • Great Learning Opportunity
