Mass Distribution
One of the main design challenges was integrating the 12 V LiPo battery into the structure. Due to its weight, the battery had a major influence on the robot’s center of mass.
It was experimentally observed that positioning the battery away from the center produced significant variations in dynamic balance and maneuverability. To solve this issue, a dedicated support structure was designed to place the battery near the geometric center of the robot.
Battery access is achieved through a removable structural section that can be disassembled and reassembled using screws and nuts.
