About The Project

Main objective of our project is to make an all-terrain robot with a sun tracking mechanism on  it.
The bot can traverse all kinds of terrain, climb steps up to 15 cm's high and can withstand a gradient of about 45 degrees.
The Sun-Tracker must always point towards the sun to absorb maximum solar energy at any given time.
The tapped solar energy charges a battery that runs the robot.

Circuit For Rocker-Bogie

​Codes Used

• Visit our GitHub page for all codes and 3D printed parts details.

Features

• Solar panels always remain perpendicular to sun rays to maximise solar energy absorbed at any given time.
• Rocker-Bogie base is able to traverse all kind of uneven terrain.
• Base is easily able to climb steep slope of about 45 deg.
• It is also capable of climbing platforms up to 15 cms in height.
• Bot can be moved in all directions and at every speed possible with help of joystick app.
