5.3 Justifications for the score given

Desing No. Objective Score allocated Justification for the score
1 Uni-directional 8 As there are 8 wheels at a time on the ground which gives a good resistance for direction change
Portability 5 As its size is not much so it is easily portable
Semiautomatic 14 As there are 12 wheels which provides great control, which can be done both manually and automatically
To climb steps 9 As wheeled locomotion are relatively high power efficient
Speed Control 0 Steps of different height require variable torque, thus speed of the bot need to be controlled.
Aesthetic 6 As it is more asthetically pleasing
Obstacle detection 0 As there is no relative advantage in obstacle detection
2 Uni-directional 0 Datum
Portability 0 Datum
Semiautomatic 0 Datum
To climb steps 0 Datum
Speed Control 0 Datum
Aesthetic 0 Datum
Obstacle detection 0 Datum
3 Uni-directional 16 As there is no scope of turning in chain mechanism
Portability -5 As this design require a lot of components(for chain mechanism) thus increasing the weight and decreasing the portability
Semiautomatic 7 As it has good grip with the ground, thus providing more control which can be done both manually and automatically
To climb steps -9 Chain mechanism is not much efficient for climbing steps and it is difficult to accomplish it
Speed Control 0 As all the bots are using same motors.
Aesthetic -12 As it is relatively less aesthetically pleasing
Obstacle detection 0 As it doesn't provide any advantage
4 Uni-directional -8 As there is no scope of turning in wheel leg mechanism
Portability 5 As it is compact in size it is more portable
Semiautomatic -7 As the motion is jerkey here there is less control over the operation of the bot
To climb steps 9 As the wheel leg mechanism is effective in climbing steps
Speed control 0 As all the bot have same motor
Aesthetic 0 As it is not relatively aesthetically pleasing
Obstacle detection -8 As its motion is jerkey which can effect the obstacle detection
