Robo genie:


Hey there, I took part in robot genie, a national level competition where I designed a multi terrain robot which can travel in sand, water, rock and slopes and where I won the 2nd place.



Working:

This is a manual robot which consists of four 200RPM motors, and two 10RPM motors with high torque this motor helps to lift the mica sheet which is attached to the flanges in order to move the rocks / a heap of sand. Diameters of 10cm wheels are used here. Four 200RPM motors are attached to the wheels; motors are insulated with M-seal (a plastering agent) which prevents the water from entering into the motors. This robot is capable of travelling through water of depth 5cm.
