Building the force sensor attachment
Before we add the force sensor, the robot needs to be lifted up with wheels and the plastic caster ball element using the following steps:
- To begin this process, connect a gray 3x5 H-shaped beam to the azure caster ball frame using two black connector pins:

- On the top of these two elements, add a purple biscuit element using two blue connector pins:

- This sub-model will attach to the underside of the robot body to the purple 7x11 open frame. This element is placed opposite to the color sensor:

- Next, turn the sumobot back to the original position. You will add a wheel to each of the medium motors. Attach a wheel using two black connector pins and one yellow 3L axle:
