Workshop on Line Following Robots
home>gallery>workshop

  The workshop was a great success. Ten kits were successfully assembled and an equal number of robots were built. My friend Swapnil, captured the moments on his phone-camera.

Basanti's visit was a star attraction at the workshop	I and Swapnil displayed a few of our robots	Robots built by the participants, some of them built only the circuits
All the designs were unique	I think a third wheel could help	Robot built using PVC pipes.
One of the better designs built by Binu and his friends.	Rahul's attempt at building Basanti ver.2 ?	All the participants with head of department, Prof.Alaspure

 

After the workshop I assembled a module and clicked a few pics:

The complete board

The motor connectors and driving transistors

We decided to mount the 3mm infrared TX/RX pair on a separate board

  It's an amazing experience to see people build things that you designed! By the way, the PCB was designed using Diprace, a wonderful pcb designing software. It was recommended by a guy (thanx Nishith) I met at the IIT's Techfest06 earlier this year. Diptrace supports easy to use auto/manual routing, schematic to pcb conversion and has a 'huge' library of components. You can even download a free 30 days trial/freeware version from their site.

Just drop me a mail if you need the schematics or the pcb layout.
