We were asked to design a new chess piece which had special abilities and to create it with character and theme in mind. We choose to invent the 'JESTER' which basically maneuvered around other pieces and was able to clone their abilities while at the same time eliminating them from the board. After we had accomplished this we were informed that we had to create a robot in the image of our chess piece. This morning we all presented our designed robots within a 2x2meter square to show what our chess pieces movements would like like on a chessboard. Our group encountered plenty of design problems as we chose to construct our own design instead of following a pre-made blue print of another vehicle. Our main problem was the fact that the rear wheel had to be able to rotate in all directions as to not skid and grip onto the carpet. To overcome this issue we placed a ball in between two wheel 'hubcaps.' This enabled it to slide easily across the carpet and also reduced the overall weight of the design. All problems aside, we did very well in the competition.
