Autonomous Ball-Collection Robot

Highlights

• Engineered an autonomous robot capable of locating, collecting, and returning a specified number of balls to its designated home zone.
• Iterated through multiple drivetrain concepts via rapid prototyping and testing, balancing speed, available torque, and repeatable traction before converging on a sled-style configuration.
• Redesigned the front mechanical support, replacing the front wheel with low-friction ski pads to reduce lateral resistance during turning and improve manoeuvrability.
• Defined the overall competition strategy and implemented sensor-feedback logic in the firmware to support reliable autonomous behaviour.
