Twitchy the Robot

grabcad

A completely autonomous robot that I designed along with three other team members. The design was meant to be as simple and efficient as possible. The challenge was to rescue "ewoks" and "Chewbacca" who have been captured by the empire. The tasks that the robot could complete (autonomously) includes:- Crossing 6 inch gaps by dropping bridges- Detecting and responding to infrared signals- Picking up small "ewoks" and placing them in the main basket- Lifting the main basket to send the "ewoks" down a railing.This project was a part of the class ENPH 253. This robot won the title of "best robot prototype."
