I hope to perform some simulations when time permits to test the ‘math’ before actually applying it to the system but concurrently I have also been working on the electronic side of things.
Here’s a snap of the chassis as of today; it won’t be as bare for long!

I managed to get my workstation setup at Uni today, so I should be able to cover a lot more ground before the end of next week. I’m hoping to have a fully working motor driver by next Friday.

Thanks to a tooth ache, I cannot sleep due to the constant throbbing and have been working through the night for 6 hours straight....that makes it 28 hours of working on the robot since 10am on the 22...
I have taken MARV from a simple chassis to what it is currently in 10 days exactly, although a couple days were wasted waiting for components to arrive via the post. The project box currently looks...
