Rube Goldberg Machine Development

The first and arguably most difficult part of the Rube Goldberg machine is to decide the final task that it should complete. After many nights of long hard thought I decided that the mundane task of mixing coffee powder and milk before adding the water was just too much to…

Code with the stabilisers

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. …

Robot Stabilisation Update

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…

Robot Stabilisation Attachment

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…
