Application of chapter 6

1. Connected parallel beams (page 117)
The most apparent use of them is the beams that connects the rear caster and the main part.

2. A modular assembly (page 119)
Frankly, I've done my job not knowing it so it is not used much but there IS mocular assemblies of main three parts, the NXT, where the motors are and where several sensors and a rear caster are.

3. Balanced the load on your robot (page 121)
Thanks to Loren, my partner who continuously reminded me the point, we've kept supporting beams, wheels and gear closest without disturbances in their own jobs.

Clear overview of how we used the information in the chapter to our advantage. Parallel beams are used throughout most of the chassis excluding where the light, sound, touch, ultrasonic sensors and the NXT block are attached. Also in that brilliantly designed rear portion of the robot where you used parallel beams to hold up the wheels.

Modular assembly really only applies to the sensor attacments, so spot on on that.
