Project Type: Combat robotics / mechanical design
Tools Used: Creo Parametric, Arduino, 3D printing, laser cutting, sheet metal fabrication
Result: First place overall in Purdue battle bot competition

Team Design Goals

• Design a battle bot capable of moving forward, backward, left, and right

• Ensure the bot could reliably stop and remain controllable during competition

• Create a durable external shell to protect the internal components

• Use 3D-printed truss supports to strengthen and support the shell structure

• Add front metal forks to redirect or deflect opposing bots during contact

• Balance durability, mobility, and manufacturability within the final design

My Contributions

• Modeled the chassis, armor shell, and created the full internal assembly in Creo Parametric

• Designed a sheet metal shell that could be laser cut and bent to fit around the internal assembly

• 3D Print the chassis and support assembly

• Integrated the drivetrain, wiring, motor controller, battery, and Arduino-based control system

• Wrote and tested Arduino code for remote operation
