ME210: Design of Ball Launching Mechatronic System based on IR and Displacement Sensing
January 2019 - March 2019, Stanford University
Part of ME210: Introduction to Mechatronics at Stanford University. Class project involved a team of 4 building a robot that could shoot balls at opponent towers to knock them down, without knocking down our team’s towers. It involved using the Teensy LC microcontroller to provide a control system that would communicate with limit switches, an omniwheel drive train and a flywheel ball launching mechanism.
