Modules & lessons
Each lesson builds toward the best project: an autonomous line-following bot.
Week 1: Safety, tools, chassis
Setup, wiring discipline, assemble chassis, test motor directions.
Week 2: Motors & drivers
DC motors, H-bridge control, power budgeting, joystick drive demo.
Week 3: IR + ultrasonic sensing
Distance sensing, noise handling, stop/slow behaviors.
Week 4: Line-following logic
Calibrate sensors, implement line-follow, smooth turns.
Week 5: Obstacle avoidance
Combine line-follow with obstacle reroute and resume.
Week 6: Speed tuning
Introduce gentle PID-style tweaks for stability and speed.
Week 7: Finish & enclosure
Wire management, mounts, and presentation polish.
Week 8: Demo & submission
Record demo, reflect on learnings, submit for certificate.
Best project
Autonomous line-following bot
Uses dual IR sensors, motor driver, and tuned logic to follow tracks smoothly. Optional: add an OLED for lap timing.
-
Obstacle-avoiding rover
Combines ultrasonic sensing with reroute logic to navigate a maze.
-
Light-seeking bot
Uses LDR pair to chase a flashlight, demonstrating analog sensing.
-
Line-following racer
Optimized turns and speed tuning on a printed track for a timed run.
