In the first week, we participated in the project orientation and became familiar with our team and advisor. The advisor explained the expectations, assessment criteria, and the importance of teamwork and originality. We exchanged initial project ideas and received direction on how to improve them. This session helped set a clear foundation for the project.  

In the second week, we worked as a team to refine our project ideas. After brainstorming, an Automated Underground Water Detection Robot was proposed and discussed. From an electromechanical perspective, I considered the feasibility of the mechanical structure and electrical components. The idea was finalized and submitted to the advisor. 

During the third week, our project idea was presented to the advisor for evaluation. The advisor reviewed the design concept and approved the project. This approval allowed us to move forward with planning the mechanical structure and electrical layout. We began thinking about motor selection and power requirements. 

In the fourth week, we contributed to the project proposal by estimating the cost of mechanical and electrical components. I helped define system functionalities related to motors, power supply, and sensor mounting. Team roles were clearly assigned, and electromechanical responsibilities were finalized. The proposal was then submitted. 

During the fifth week, the advisor reviewed our proposal and requested improvements in formatting and missing technical details. I assisted in refining the electrical and mechanical descriptions of the system. After making the necessary corrections, the revised proposal was resubmitted and approved. This marked the start of practical design work. 

In the sixth week, I focused on planning the electrical connections and mechanical layout of the robot. Motor drivers, power supply distribution, and wiring paths were carefully considered. I worked closely with the software team to ensure compatibility between hardware and Arduino control. This coordination helped prevent future integration issues. 

During the seventh week, we met with our advisor to review the design and discuss component selection. I presented the planned mechanical structure and electrical components, including motors and power systems. The advisor provided guidance on testing and safety considerations. This meeting confirmed readiness to begin construction 

In the eighth week, we purchased the required mechanical and electrical components for the robot. I inspected motors, batteries, drivers, and structural parts to ensure they met the design requirements. The components were checked for compatibility and quality. This step prepared us for assembly. 

During the ninth week, additional electrical and mechanical components were procured. I reviewed alternative parts due to availability issues and ensured they matched performance and budget constraints. All newly purchased components were tested for basic functionality. With this, the hardware collection phase was completed. 

In the tenth week, we began assembling the robot structure. I worked on mounting the motors, wheels, and mechanical frame. Electrical wiring and power connections were arranged according to the design plan. This phase helped identify early mechanical alignment issues. 

During the eleventh week, I focused on integrating electrical and mechanical systems. Motors, servo mechanisms, and electrodes were aligned and secured for smooth operation. I collaborated with the software team to test motor control and sensor actuation. Initial tests confirmed proper coordination between hardware and software. 

In the twelfth week, we presented the assembled robot to our advisor for evaluation. Based on feedback, I assisted in enclosing and protecting the mechanical and electrical components. Final adjustments were made to improve stability and safety. The evaluation confirmed that the system was functioning as intended
