Doorway Configuration

Tight Squeeze
Keith Rowell Design

One requirement of the bot is that it be able to pass through doors to get into classrooms and show halls and such. (Stuart brought this up at lunch today).
This robot configuration mimicks a crab to accomplish this task. In this scenario, the body section is the part that must dimensionally fit through the door (26"-34"), the legs can reconfigure to "crab" through then go back to whatever shape.

The other point we discussed was that the maximum stored and folded size needs to fit into the back of an average pickup truck. Stuart and Bob will measure their trucks and we'll take the smaller of the two as the maximum. Stuart's truck will hold a 4'x6' sheet of plywood, but it has to sit above the wheel wells. I'll post a cad file of the shape when we get futher dimensions.
