yes I agree. But as I said, it's only the first prototype ;-) I was just testing all the components together.
In the future, all the sensitive parts (e.g. wires, sensors...) should be protected in a box/enclosure. And there are many things that can be done to make it more robust and agile. But anyway, for now the goal is not to send one of these in a real disaster area. In the competition we're organizing, we will keep things simple since the teams that will participate will mostly be from high schools. The main goal of the competition is to teach kids programming and the basics of robotics. It will take a few years before we are at the same level as the RoboCup rescue competition.
