Turtle Robot

Project Brief Summary:
For this project, my partner (Rose Solway) and I were tasked with creating a line tracking robot that would track and follow a black line. The intent of the project was to create the fastest robot that could accurately traverse the track. Our robot was ironically the fastest one with simplistic Matlab code, light weight materials, and a cute design to finish it off.

Tools:
Wire cutters
Matlab
Scissors
Servo Tuner
Saw

Project Materials:
Light sensing PCB
ITDuino
Connecting Wires
Container
Wire
Decorations
Servos
2 Wheels
One ball bearing with housing

Project Outcome:
Using Matlab to code our finished project, we optimized our code to the point where our robot won the race when put on the obstacle course. This was executed with incredible precision and set a record within the class for that year. The assembly was fairly simple as we mainly glued and wired the servos to the bottom of the ice cream lid that we were using for a chassis. The ball bearing with housing was simply glued onto the bottom of the lid behind the servos.
