A line-following robot built around an Arduino Uno, using two IR sensors to track a line and steer between two wheels, with a small gripper arm mounted at the front.

What I owned

Team of 3. I was lead designer and programmer: the CAD drawings, joint work on the electric circuit, and the Arduino programming. The other two members focused mostly on other parts of the assignment.
