Projects Built to Inspire
Every project here was designed with accessibility in mind — affordable parts, clear documentation, and free guides so any student can build along with us.
Autonomous SystemsAutonomous 5-Channel IR Line Follower Robot
An autonomous line follower robot with a 5-channel TCRT5000 IR sensor array, L298N differential drive, and PID weighted error logic for smooth trajectory execution.
Why we built this
Standard 2-IR followers produce harsh, jerky turns. We engineered this 5-IR system so students could master proportional-derivative (PID) feedback control on affordable hardware.

Human-Machine Interface6-DOF CyberDeck & 5-DOF Teach-Repeat Robotic Arm
Industrial-grade 6-DOF & 5-DOF robotic manipulation systems featuring OpenCV AI vision hand tracking, Flask-SocketIO web control, and teach-repeat trajectory playback.
Why we built this
Industrial robot arms are typically locked behind proprietary software; we designed an open hardware ecosystem combining AI computer vision, web dashboards, and manual potentiometer teach modes.

Renewable Energy SystemsDual-Axis Solar Tracking & Energy Management System
A dual-axis (Yaw & Pitch) photovoltaic tracking system equipped with high-side INA219 I2C current/voltage telemetry, DHT22 climate sensors, and closed-loop battery charging.
Why we built this
Stationary solar panels suffer significant efficiency drops; we built an intelligent dual-axis tracker that maximizes energy capture while monitoring real-time power metrics.

IoT & Embedded SystemsSmart Home Automation & IoT Energy Hub
A modular ESP32-powered home automation controller supporting multi-channel relay switching, MQTT telemetry, local web dashboard, and physical wall switch overrides.
Why we built this
Modern home automation proprietary hubs are expensive; we engineered a low-cost, open-hardware controller with fallback physical wall switches.

Competitive RoboticsHigh-Impact Combat BattleBot
A heavy-duty combat robot with an armor-plated chassis, high-torque dual H-bridge differential drive, and high-RPM active kinetic weapon spinner.
Why we built this
Combat robotics teaches extreme mechanical stress tolerance, impact dynamics, and high-current electrical safety under competition conditions.

Bionic RoboticsArticulated Bionic Robotic Hand
A 5-finger bio-inspired articulated robotic hand driven by tendon cable lines and micro servos for dexterous grasping and tactile sensor experimentation.
Why we built this
Commercial prosthetic research hands cost thousands of dollars; we created a fully 3D-printable bionic hand so students can explore prosthetic control and bio-mechanics.

Power ElectronicsDC to DC Booster Converter
A high-efficiency DC-DC step-up boost converter engineered for stable voltage stepping, closed-loop PWM regulation, and reliable power delivery in mobile robotic systems.
Why we built this
Voltage sag and brownouts frequently reset student microcontrollers during heavy motor loads; we engineered an affordable, robust DC boost converter module.

Competitive RoboticsRoboSoccer Bot
A fast, agile wireless robot built for robot-soccer matches — designed to push, dribble, and score.
Why we built this
Competition robots often cost thousands — we designed this bot with common parts so any student club can afford to compete.

Legged RoboticsHexapod Spider Robot
A hexapod-style walking robot with articulated legs that crawls, turns, and adapts its gait over uneven ground.
Why we built this
We built this with low-cost 3D-printed parts and affordable servos so local schools could replicate multi-legged robotics without expensive machinery.
Free technical report & Drive guide available
Aerial RoboticsRC Plane
A hand-built fixed-wing RC aircraft designed, balanced, and flown by the team.
Why we built this
Aeromodelling kits are expensive; we used foam board and locally sourced motors so flight becomes accessible to every curious student.
Free technical report & Drive guide available
ElectronicsTesla Coil
A slayer-exciter Tesla coil that produces visible high-voltage arcs and wirelessly lights bulbs.
Why we built this
High-voltage demos inspire curiosity; we designed ours with safety cut-offs so we can bring electromagnetism to any classroom.
Free technical report & Drive guide available
Autonomous SystemsObject Collision-Avoiding Robot
An autonomous rover that sweeps an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles and steer around them.
Why we built this
Autonomy made simple: our clean, commented code lets beginners understand every line and extend the robot themselves.
Free technical report & Drive guide available
Control SystemsSelf-Balancing Robot
A two-wheeled robot that stays upright in real time using an IMU and a PID balance controller.
Why we built this
Control theory on a budget — we're building this so students can experiment with PID tuning without industrial equipment.
Free technical report & Drive guide available
AerospaceWater Rocket
A pressurised water-and-air rocket engineered for maximum altitude and a clean recovery.
Why we built this
A zero-cost intro to physics and engineering using recycled bottles — perfect for school outreach demos where budgets are tight.
