Semester 1 · Sumobot

Week 1: Actuators

Open to everyone

Getting started

We'll be providing you with your full bag of parts (including some better servos) in a later workshop (Workshop 3- Programming) where you'll learn about how to integrate a programmable controller into your robot. In the first paid session, we'll show you how you can use CAD models of these components to quickly create 3D designs and get them ready for rapid prototyping.

Last off, we'll have plenty of catchup sessions throughout the process and we'll also be going more in depth on how to troubleshoot and find issues later on as you get more comfortable with the lab equipment. There's plenty of committee members around the lab ready to help you, so feel free to flag one of us down if you need a hand
