Component Diagram

Our first concept Component Diagram that can be used with the four wheeled robot is depicted below.
In the diagram different functions that are nedeed are visible and furthermore clearly the division of the sensors and actuators over the blocks are shown. The main idea behind this division is the idea of 'Measurements and driving can be handled separately from eachother'.
Thus the most important sensors (light sensors left + right to detect a cliff) and the most important actuators (motors left + right to move and steer) are used on one RCX block to prevent damage and stay controllable. The other (less important) measurement 'equipment' are used on a different RCX block.
