Harsh and Velin, two Year 10 Computer Science students, designed and produced their remotely operated three-wheel Car.
They used 3D printing, combining electric motors, batteries, and an Arduino Uno R3 to create a car that can move using a remote control.
Velin designed various chassis versions on FreeCAD before he produced the final one through 3D printing for testing on the Academy’s car park.
Harsh wired, programmed and coded the Arduino, ensuring the remote was operating correctly from the required distance.
The students self-initiated the project to explore the cross-curricula disciplines of Engineering Manufacture and Design, applied Electronics, and Computer Science.
It was a great success, surprising and exciting for their fellow students and teachers. For them, this is just a collaboration and an ongoing project.
Watch this space!!!
