# The design

Tags: Submarine robot-car

Before starting to build a machine, one always have to create some sort of a design. Sometimes it just needs to be a few sketches on a piece of paper, others required a more accurate three-dimensional drawing.

Here is our team's attempt to create the "blueprint" for our robot.

# Drawing

# Cardboard model

This “cardboard” mockup was created using LEGO® pieces as a basic proof-of-concept for the layout of our mechanisms and used as a reference during the early design stages to get a better idea of how all the mechanisms would fit together in 3D.

A 3D model was recreated in LeoCAD for easier access. Available on Github.
