23w21 LP2313 DIY Project: Remote Controlled Transportation Robot

We had assigned homework to design self-defined project for the Learning Package ending challenge. This is open chance, no specific requirement or limit, we encourage the students to use the learnt knowledge as possible, we also encourage them to take out-of-box explorations, try to seek help to use some un-learnt techniques or knowledge in advance, like ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, etc.

Here is the work done by Felix, a remote-controlled transportation robot.

The hardware used: 

• 2x Micro:bit V2 board 

• 1x Kitronik :MOVE Motor for Micro:bit 

• 2x Feetech Micro Servo FS90-180 

• A white plastic bin, handwork to colored and painted with cool muscle pictures

• Handcraft base and decoration case made by cardboard

The features in demo:

• Use the wearable controller Micro:bit to remote control the robot, the commands are got by hand gestures, i.e. you move the hand a little forward to send "drive forward" command, move back the hand to send "reverse the vehicle" command, lean the hand left/right to command the robot to turn left/right, put the hand flat to command the robot to standstill, not moving.

• Use button on the controller Micro:bit to command a front widget flipping out under the robot  (This is a feature to react to some kind of attack from the front, told by Felix)

• Use another button on the controller Micro:bit to command a back widget with a rotating foam (This is to massage your hand after a day's hard work, told by Felix)

• Touch the controller Micro:bit's logo part to command a horn sound on the vehicle (This is a secrets feature to scare away the unfriendly things around, told by Felix)
