The document describes a circular robot project with two prototypes. The first prototype robot had legs that were too weak and limited movement, along with issues in the electrical systems and coding. The second prototype robot will be fully 3D printed, allowing for replaceable and interchangeable parts like legs. This prototype aims to have stronger legs and a lighter central body than the first, using fewer servos. The circular robot is intended to be carried by a UAV for remote exploration of locations and could potentially be used for space exploration, agriculture, and environmental research.

1. Circular Robot Project
Introduction:
We are building a robot for general exploratory purposes. Our robot is planned to have a
circular shape and have both rolling and tripedal locomotion. We are currently planning and
building our second prototype robot for 3D printing in order to ensure precise engineering
structure. I have been planning the construction of our robot for a few months and are almost
done building its structure. Below are images of some of the things that inspired our robot. We
were tasked with the goal of building a robot that could be carried by a UAV and dropped off in a
remote location for it to explore. Once our robot is built and functioning, we will have to continue
improving its design.

2. Results from the first robot. - The leg were too weak, the legs movement were limited, issues
with electrical systems, and trouble coding data.
Prototype 2 Robot (name of Robot)
The whole robot body will be 3d printed.The second prototype is fully 3D printed, and all the
parts are made so that if one leg breaks or we want to add more legs to the robot, all we would
have to do is just print another leg or print a central body with more leg slots to accommodate
more legs.This will make the robot have the ability to replace body parts if one of it parts break.
The leg strength will be greater and the central body will have less mass compared to Prototype
1. There will be a less servos compared to prototype 1 robot (15 servos to 9 servos).
