This was the sophomore’s year 10-week project in a team of 5. The challenge was to design and fabricate a two-wheeled robot capable of following a curved line and projecting a ball into a designated area. I have worked on implementing and tuning PID control system in Arduino, designing and fabricating the release mechanism, designing voltage booster circuit and LED/LDR circuit. Our robot competed against 12 other teams and received extra points for lightweight design and build quality, while achieving the objective.
Final SolidWorks Design of the Robot
Below is a video of the last test build and how the robot was operating. For a full technical report please contact me personally.
