You may have seen high octane F1 cars, rocket ship drag cars, rocket launches and high speed boat races but all of these feats are about to be dwarfed by the engineering master piece that you are about to witness. This blog will document the culmination of many hard days…

As it comes out of the box the Elegoo Tumbeler is a very well equipped robot and does not need any upgrades to preform the tasks it was designed for however since we want to repurpose the robot to preform tasks it wasn’t designed to do we must make upgrades…

As mentioned in a previous blog I decided to create a pneumatically powered ping pong ball launcher. This ping pong ball launcher had to create kinetic energy from a store of potential energy. …

In order to complete the robot testing an obstacle course must be created. This obstacle course must adhere strictly to the schematic provided as this will create a level playing field for us all to be compared over. In order to create the best environment for my robots performance I…

Due to the presence of the stabilising devices there is no longer a need for the robot to auto balance therefore I will be writing my own code that will allow my robot to navigate the course and rest at certain points. …

After many attempts to build my initial stabilisation attachment I accepted the manufacturing of the front axel design on this small scale would be tedious, complex and would result in an over engineered part. I therefore went back to the drawing board to plan my next idea. The first thing…

Great news on the robot front. Steven(yes that is his name) has eventually slipped under immigrations radar. With his elaborate disguise customs didn’t realise the high tech robot they were letting in. In this blog I will give an in depth guide of the physical assembly of Steven. Firstly I…

As part of the construction of the robot we were tasked with designing an attachment that would keep the robot upright even if the self balancing feature failed. For inspiration to base my design off I looked at car designs. Firstly I looked at the Reliant Robin this is a…

Due to the delayed arrival of the robot I decided to keep developing the ping pong ball launcher. …
