Project Domain
Remote Control Cars
Steering, speed control, and custom chassis engineering.
Systems Students Explore
RC vehicle projects teach students about power systems, mechanical drivetrain design, and wireless control. Students engineer vehicles that can navigate obstacles, carry loads, or compete in timed courses.
Drivetrain Design
Differential steering, gear ratios, and motor selection for speed vs. torque
Wireless Control
IR, Bluetooth, or RF remote communication for real-time vehicle control
Chassis Engineering
Frame design, weight distribution, and suspension systems
Obstacle Navigation
Adding sensors for collision avoidance or line following
Example Projects
- Two-wheel drive car controlled by IR remote
- Four-wheel vehicle with Bluetooth smartphone control
- Line-following car with sensor array and PID tuning
- Obstacle-dodging autonomous vehicle with ultrasonic sensors
Evidence Outputs
- Working vehicles demonstrated on test courses
- Chassis design sketches and drivetrain diagrams
- Performance data from timed runs and obstacle courses
- Build process photos showing mechanical and electrical assembly
