Needed a unique and creative solution for my project that would elevate it to the next level. I drew inspiration from a popular design element - a "GoPro" style connector that would enable me to adjust heights with precision and flexibility. This versatile component became the foundation of my custom chariot's mobility system. As an educator, I've had hands-on experience working on projects with students in my class, utilizing a similar concept that allowed for pivoting and adaptability. Our previous endeavors showcased how a simple yet effective design can make a significant impact. For this latest project, I wanted to create something new and exciting that would challenge conventional norms. After conducting some research, I came across an intriguing design that served as the perfect starting point - a LEGO train-inspired Sphero chariot on YouMagine (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/lego-train-sphero). This cutting-edge creation sparked my imagination and motivated me to get creative. For the hardware components, I selected a few essential pieces that would bring this concept to life: - M5 bolts: A minimum of 20mm is required for optimal performance, but if you're designing your own custom knobs, I recommend using 25mm for added stability. - M5 8mm acorn nuts: These will serve as the perfect fastening solution, ensuring a secure and smooth connection.
