Post-Critique Thoughts:
Lessons Learned:
1. Plywood is much lighter than basswood.
2. Basswood is much more expensive than plywood.
3. The two look about the same.
4. Consider friction.
5. DC motors suck the life out of 9v batteries.
Since the wheels would not turn at all while touching anything, I tried to maximize the power. By simultaneously subtracting the friction, the wheels spun with too much gusto, and the piece fell apart. The piece was conceptually sound, technically simple, physically fragile, and a monstrous headache to construct. Albeit a total disaster, it was functional for all of three seconds.
May it rest in peace.
