Yup, it now has 2 platforms instead of that plastic truck shell.


Here is a picture to remind you what it looked like




Here are some photos of the building of the dual platform. Its made from lexan, each platform measuring 12"x5.5". Holes were drilled for the spacers and for the pegs that hold the platform to the chassis.














It is still the same old setup (compass, GPS, and my custom board), but i am trying to think of things to add. If you have any ideas, please leave a comment. The compass is mounted on the top deck with a custom bracket made of polymorph plastic.

I would add some distance sensors (like IR or sonar) for obstacle avoidance
or try IR sensors on one side for automous parking
