Fire Fighting Robot Final

The problem we were presented with for our Engineering-199 Final Project was to create a robot that would solve a simple serpentine pattern maze and put out a fire at the end of the maze. The expectation was that our robot would be coded and designed to solve two possible iterations of the serpentine pattern: A “left-hand” turn maze and a “right-hand” turn maze. To create such a robot, we were allowed to use multiple different electronic components that we have worked...

“Automatic” Opening Door

For my ENGR-199 class, I was tasked with creating a circuit that would take a user-detected presence, detected through an ultra-sonic sensor, and cause a servo to turn 180 degrees, which would in theory be attached to a door opening system, causing a door to open completely. This effectively creates an automatic door-opening system, which could be utilized in real-world applications. To give a brief background on how the components involved in the circuit work, an ultrasonic sensor sends a...

Chassis Mount for a 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor

In lieu of the final project for the ENGR 199 class that I am a part of, I was given the task of designing a chassis mount for a 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor, which would be used to help power the wheels of the final project that I will be building. To begin this process, I first had to have some form of import/reference to what the actual design of the stepper motor would look like, so I imported an already (to-scale) stepper motor from the website https://cookierobotics.com/042/ into a 3D CAD...
