Modeling Maxwell

I put together a simple 3–D model of Maxwell to help visualize and play around with future modifications – before I actually invest the time and $$$ to implement them. Using SketchUp, it was easy to build a dimensionally accurate 3–D model, and to rotate it for viewing from any angle.

Maxwell is based on the Blue Base from Rogue Robotics, and has a Parallax Board of Education (BOE) controller. As I have time, over the next week or so, I’ll flesh out the model adding the controller and other details.
