This project was part of the IMechE (Institution of Mechanical Engineers) annual Design Challenge, a competition for first and second year undergraduate engineering students. The objective for the year's challenge was to design a repeatable vehicle capable of moving from one spot to another along a tabletop, following specific stages. The vehicle had to fit within a strict size specification of 120mm in length, 40mm in width, and 25mm in height.
My design meets these requirements, using a motor-driven system with large and small reels to pull a tape, which propels the vehicle forward. With a DPDT switch, the vehicle can reverse by reeling the tape in the opposite direction, allowing it to return to its starting position. A colour sensor, paired with an Arduino UNO, enables the vehicle to detect a designated yellow target point and stop precisely at the required spot.
