Chassis Material
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) – Low cost, low weight, easily to work with
Often used as 3D printer filamentSheet Metal, Aluminum – Low cost, low weight

Wheels
Mecanum wheels allow for multidirectional movement without turningNo reputable sources on difference in power consumptionSame force and velocity as standard wheelTraction may be an issue in either caseMecanum wheels remove issue of reorienting targeting system during line following

Microcontroller
We recommend the Arduino Mega or Due Both more robust than Uno Mega has higher operating voltage (5v)
compared to Due (3.3v) Due has more on board memory (512 Kb) as
opposed to Mega (128 Kb) Plenty of I0 Pins (12 PWM for Due and 15
PWM for Mega)

Batteries
High quality rechargeable batteries are preferred for high drain devices
More likely to provide advertised output We recommend 7.4 Volt, 2100 mAh RC
batteries More than enough voltage and current for the
competition limits

Servos/Motors
Good quality servos are a must Light, quick acceleration, smooth operation and faster
response time
