| Here lies our command center. The Handy Board (leftmost) came
assembled. We only had to make a slight modification. The IR Beacon
(upper right) we constructed in lab. It boasts 4 IR receivers and 4
IR transmitters, not too mention a ton of other circuit components
(little bugger was quite complicated and MAD compact!). The Expansion
Board (middle bottom) we also constructed in lab. It boasts 6 IC's,
female connectors and male connectors, shorts, batter pack connector,
etc. These components are on both sides of the board.
The Mishap: If you look closely at the Expansion Board, you will
notice that all the IC's are soldered directly too the board....
Can be VERY bad... you know, if one of them burns out in the middle
of the competition.... |

components plugged into each other, turning into a well
developed unit capable of things unknown....) |
