Step 22Add a chair
To make the robot more rideable, add a chair! I could only find the plastic seat to a chair, so I had to weld a frame to it. You certainly don't have to make your own frame if there's already one attached to the seat.
I wanted to make my chair easily removable so the robot would be more usable if I wanted to use it to haul large objects. To achieve this, I created mounting system using aluminum cylinders that fit tightly into the square 1" x 1" steel tubing. Two pegs are mounted to the frame, and two to the chair. They insert into the corresponding cross-sections on the chair and frame. It takes a bit of finagling to get it on and off, but it does mount securely, which is important since movement of the robot is somewhat rough.
