Problem

For my Prototype and Fabrication (DESINV22) class final, I was tasked with creating a Bluetooth vehicle capable of traversing a series of obstacles.

Solution

My classmate and I decided to create a "tank" inspired vehicle with treads, capable of driving upside down in the case of it flipping.

I 3D printed TPU Treads and wheels for traction, laser cut the vehicle frame and tread guiders. My partner worked on the arduino code to make the vehicle bluetooth compatible.

Our tank design got full marks on the obstacle course and "set the bar pretty high for (our) classmates" -Professor Chris Meyers.
