-**** part placement
- 1. name some reasons for the arduinos placement on the deck.
- 1. could it have been placed diagonally? why or why not?
- 2. could it have been placed in any other location? why or why not?
- 3. could it be upside-down? why or why not?
- 2. why are the motors between the wheels?
- 3. why are the motors pointed towards the caster in the back?
- 4. why are the battery packs between the wheels and caster
+ 5. why are the motors between the wheels?
+ 6. why do we wrap tape around the body of the motors?
+ 7. why are the motors pointed towards the caster in the back?
+ 8. why do we put a zip tie around the motor?
+*** breadboard
+ the breadboard is the white thing in the middle of the deck.
+ it has a black thing plugged into it.
+ almost everything with wires plugs into the breadboard.
+ 1. where is the breadboard?
+ 2. what's the difference between stranded and solid core wire?
+ 3. why are we using solid core wire for plugging into
+ the breadboard?
+ 4. do we have the black chip (motor controller) be on the left or
+ the right of the breadboard?
+ 5. why should the chip be on the right on our robot?
+*** batteries
+ there are two battery packs on the robot.
+ one of them powers the motors, and is in the clear battery pack.
+ the black battery pack powers the arduino.
+ 1. why are the battery packs between the wheels and caster
