001 – Make sure Robot can be disassembled!

Do not be tempted to glue parts of your Robot together or make use of other permanent assemblies. I can almost guarntee you that your ideas will develop and the need will arise to reconfirgure aspects of yoru Robot.

Specifically you need to look at how I have mounted the EV3 brick onto the back of Troopy. By fixing a Lego part with small bolts to his back, we can use standard Lego pegs to attach the EV3 brick. I have added a velcro patch and this works well. Remember you wouls oemthines try things wgere you would want to remove the rechargeabe battery or the loading jack that comes down through the umbilical.

Please look at the video below to see how I have doen that.

I also re-positioned the webcam a few times so make sure this bolted and is important that you design in some arrangement so that you can adjust (tilt) your webcam up and down. Normally the webcam comes with such a capability that can be utilised.
