4th of september - Marked as the day , we brought glory to our college NITA after a meritorious victory in the arena of IIT Guwahati's tech fest "TECHNICHE" . The competiion was named "DREDGE & DROP" & our bot's name was "EXCAVATOR GENERATION 4 (cause that was our 4th successful model)"
Here are some of the photographs that will certainly explain our journey.
The bot has to carry max of sand in minimum of the time from a sand pit , going through a 3cm wide reverse curve track to the deposition pit..
The back view of the bot (It has got nice edges,isn't it right)
He's got really famous ,( since we took soo much snaps of him during his making only .. .)
Wow look at it !!! Isn't it huge , But actually just 25 by 25 by 30 cms
Loos like some kind of alien headed bot . euww!!!

We have got two geniuses sitting in the front here

building the continuous sand picking mechanism at the college
workshop

You can see me trying out different mechanisms when we did not had that caterpillar tracks to move in the sand
These caterpillar tracks rescued us
earlier we tried with fabric custom made belts.. but they kept on slipping as we continued for long time moves
this is the tank for the sand deposit made out of plexi ..
that gear motor opens up the door for dumping up the sand
This was Rajbansh's room (turned into a part time workshop)
