More of my robot!!!

Hey made a lot of progress today so gonna put in another entry. Today I managed to solve the big problem of extending the motor shaft. The problem was the motor was connected to three gears and all the shafts dint reach out of the box..so I removed the shaft from the largest gear in the end which was too slow to be used. pushed the shaft of the gear i wanted to use half way out and pushed in the other shaft from the other side.. its something like this
IIIIIIIIIIII
------- ------- so now the shaft sticks out enough to fix the wheels!
IIIIIIIIIIII

kinda crude but it still works cos the gear is rigid enough.
Next is the problem of fxing the wheels on the shaft.. i think im gonna use mseal to fix it. Will do that tomo..
This is wat i noticed my design and ideas to start with were very proffesional and to the point. Now after seeing the limitations of resources it keeps getting cruder and cruder.. hopefully i will stay to gether during the competition! And it should do the given task quickly and efficiently. thats all that matters!
