Pololu 3Pi line follower bull dozer body

thingiverse

I designed this body and two blade options to attach to a Pololu 3Pi Line Following robot. I was a course designer for a robot race competition at work, and I built two spare bots as an obstacle on the course. The two bulldozers weren't running line following code, instead they just paced back and forth in a small area where competitors would be coming through. Their randomness was very frustrating for the competitors because there was no amount of code that could predict their patrol pattern. It added a fun element to the overall course. I used #2-26 screws to attach the blades to the body, and the body to the robot. A metric screw should work too, but I didn't have any small enough on hand at the time. The screw mount hole on the chevron plow blade is close to the blade itself, making it tough to get a screw in, but possible with a thin screwdriver. It should probably be remixed for easier access.
