Project #114 - Tetrix Mantis "Metal Robot"

In this project you will build the "Mantis" indirect motor drive robot. This is a combination of the NXT and Tetrix Robots. When the robot is assembled, you will then have it start at the end of a robotic table where the starting line is marked by a piece of duct-tape. The robot will proceed to the first rectangular (duct-taped) region and stop. Then do a 180 and traverse the perimeter of the table until it reaches the second rectangular region (yes that too is made from duct-tape). The objective is to get you familiar with basic DC motor navigation on the metal bot. Please note: when operating the metal robots you are required to wear safety glasses! No sensor will be used to complete this project. Good Luck!
