 * PROBLEM DEFINITION :

1. Cost Constraint:

- Due to increased costs or budget constraints, the planned Mecanum wheels need to

be replaced with conventional wheels, impacting the robot's omnidirectional mobility.

2. Code Unavailability:

- The unavailability of operational codes or algorithms specific to regular wheels poses

a challenge in programming the robot's movements, affecting its intended functionalities.

3. Lack of Voltage Control PCB:

- The absence of a dedicated PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for voltage control or

regulation further complicates the adaptation process, hindering precise motor control and

performance optimization.

4. Impact on Functionality:

- These combined limitations may compromise the robot's maneuverability and

operational scope, necessitating a reevaluation of mobility capabilities and potential

adjustments in the project's scope or objectives.
