Mechatronics EngineeringCompetition
A competition rover that combines infrared sensing with PID steering, documented with wiring diagrams, code and test logs so next year’s team starts from a working baseline.

1st placeSociety Robotics Challenge 2025Sample result
Follow a taped line through tight curves at speed without overshooting, on a course the team sees only on the day.
A printed chassis carries a low battery pack for stability. Every wiring diagram, tuning log and line of code is archived so next year’s team starts from a working rover.
An infrared sensor bar reads the line eight times per centimetre; a PID loop steers two geared motors, tuned on a test track built to the competition rules.
