the biggest design change that i did from week 1 to week 2 was including a central axis to run through the whole body of the vehicle. Instead of having the arms that hold the caster wheels be fixed to the body, i decide to have them rotate on the axis. I Also attached rubber bands to the arms in a way such that they will continuously pull the arms down towards the floor
I spend way too much drawing in illustrator trying to come up with the perfect design. I think that in my head I really thought that I could get it to work on the first go which couldn't be further from what actually happened. If i had to do it it again i would definitely spend the majority of the time trying to figure out how things actually work by trying out something simple and building on from there rather than getting caught up on how I would ideally want things to work.
