Mechanical Design
The model is designed in Auto CAD as shown in Figure 2.1(a) and (b), which consists of the chassis, two wheels, a box to protect the components, a blade with 3 holes for sensors to emit and receive light and a sharp knife connected to the lower edge of it to help fit surface perfectly. The knife would let the opponet drive onto it so that thrust from the opposite could be alleviate.
