Project 6
TITLE: ALL TERRAIN REMOTE SPY VEHICLE-1 (version - 1)
Description:
This project is my first project, which I have done in my first year semester break. Have been inspired by many ATV 'S (All Terrain Vehicles) on youtube, I have started this project. It took me a couple of long nights to complete this project as this is the first time I was exposed to practical difficulties that occur while working on robots. But I took all those odds with lot of patience and at the end of the day I have successfully completed the project and had gained my first experience in building a bot.
The important aspect of this project is its flexible body. The mechanical structure of ATRSV - 1 is designed into three compartments and are joined using hinges in order to provide flexibility on different surfaces. More over this bot is powered by six wheel drive. As this bot is built of joining three compartments, at any instant of time at least four wheel are in contact with the ground which in turn helps the bot to move on different terrains with much ease.
This robot can be operated using a wireless remote. Using the video transmitted by the wireless camera as visual aid, we can control the bot in an area away from the controller.
Results:
First year I had a subject called Electronic Devices and Circuits, in which I learned basic electronic components like diodes, transistors and their uses as a switch. Using transistors, diodes and relays as major components, I have designed a four channel control board. At this stage, am not exposed to intermediate electronics like RF modules, encoders and decoders so, I preferred to hack a toy car's hardware and used it as Transmitter and Receiver. Interfacing this hardware with my control board is quite simple and am done with it.
