Mechanical Goose!

Working in a group, we created a mechanical goose as part of design challenge. Together we created a stable platform with realistic functionality through mechanical design and integrated code. The entire project is coded in Robot C (a version of C++).

Skills I Used/Gained

• Balancing leadership responsibility between group members

• Analytical skills for mechanical design as there was no clear plan for the structure. I spent hours creating a stable platform for all the mechanical features of the goose.

• Software integration between Lego sensors and motors. The goose utilizes 4 encoded motors and 4 sensors detecting touch, position, color, and ultrasonic vision.
