3.4 Methodology.

Steps:
Page 5 of 29
Step 1: Collect all the required materials as outlined in the materials list.

Each wheel will consist of 6 thinner circular sections that will be glued and stacked
together on top of each other to make up one whole wheel, and taped along the
circumference of the wheel, or wheel sections.

Step 2: Use the pencil, and the compass to mark out a circle of 45 mm radius on the
cardboard sheet, that will then be cut out with an appropriate blade. This will be one
of the six sections that make up each wheel.
Repeat this step 35 times to create the 36 circular sections that will be required for the
wheels (6 per each wheel).

Step 3: To assemble each wheel, use the superglue to connect 6 of the circular
sections on top of each other
Repeat this step 5 times to create the 6 wheels required for the rover.

Step 4: The flooring of the rovers chassis will be a single rectangular cardboard sheet
with dimensions of 320mm by 150mm, as illustrated in Figure ------. Use the pencil to
mark out this rectangle shape on the sheet of cardboard provided, according to the
dimensions described, and cut it out with the appropriate blade.

Step 5: Use the same process to carve out the rectangular side pieces of the
cardboard, which will be double-layered. Mark out the 4 rectangular pieces of
cardboard on the sheet (320mm by 160mm), and cut them out.
Then 2 of the cardboard pieces should be glued on top of each other to form one of
the double layered sides for the chassis. Repeat this for the other side of the chassis
with the other two pieces of cardboard that was also carved out.

Step 6: Draw another 2 identical rectangular sections on the initial cardboard sheet to
carve out (70mm height, 150 mm width). These will be the front and back sections of
the car.

Step 7: Use the provided 3-d printer for the construction of the plastic axles. Input the
dimensions of the axles as shown in the diagram, and 3-d print the 3 identical axles.

Step 8: Use a band saw to craft the 2 identical central columns/pillars that will fill the
inner chassis of the car, from the balsa wood, according to the dimensions provided.
Then, with the band saw, craft the front and back support wooden columns, as well as
the front and back upper columns, as illustrated in the diagrams, and dimensions.

Step 9: Use the box cutter to carve out the foam platform (dimensions 320 x 150 x 20
mm) from the foam material. On the rover, this will be connected above the wooden
support columns, and it is where the bottle will rest.

The previous steps guide through the creation of just the individual parts of the
rover. Once these steps have been completed, the rover itself is to be
assembled from these individual parts, as outlined in the following steps.

Step 10: Equip the drill with an 8mm drill bit, and use it to drill 3 holes in each of the
two side walls, so that the axle can later pass through these holes. The two chassis
Page 6 of 29
side walls can be superimposed or placed symmetrically on top of each other while
drilling, so that the wall can only be drilled 3 times to produce 6 holes, and so that the
position of the wholes only needs to be marked once.

Step 11: The side, front, back, and floor of the chassis should have connected to each
other with glue into a box shape.

Step 12: The 4 wooden support columns should be placed inside this box according
to what has been illustrated in the diagrams, leaving the 3 gaps for the axles. The
sides of these columns should be glued to all the cardboard walls of the chassis that
meet them. Then the screw driver should be used to drill screws into the wooden
columns through the cardboard sides, from the outside. At least 2 screws should be
used for each side for each column, but their exact positioning is of little importance.

Step 13: The foam platform (which has the same length and width as the body rover)
simply needs to be glued on top of the wooden support columns. After that, the top
wooden walls that will be surrounding the bottle also need to be glued along to the
edges of the rover on top of the foam platform.

Step 14: The plastic straps that will hold the bottle in place on the foam bed should
then be taped on top of the side wooden walls, going from one side wall, across to the
other wall, above the gap where the water bottle will sit. The water bottle is slid inside
from the back of the rover underneath the straps.

Step 15: Finally, a hole of 8mm diameter is drilled in the centre of each wheel, all 3
axles are slid inside the axle holes on the chassis, and then all 6 wheels are glued
onto each end of the 3 axles, such that there is a 1 cm of distance between a wheel
and the chassis of the rover.
