Lego Mindstorms Robots

Basic Model

Before beginning to use the robots as a swarm a base model had to be created. This model is shown in the following picture:

As can be seen it uses track tyres and two seperate motors to make sure the robot can move forward, backward and turn. This system was chosen as our design was focussed on simplicity and this model negates the need of a steering system or a swivelling wheel.
