MEAM.Design - MEAM 410 - L5: Balancing Act


Working with your proposed Robockey teammates, design and build a two-wheeled self-balancing robot that must:

  • only touch the ground through two coaxially-mounted wheels
  • have a center of gravity that is appreciably above the wheel axis
  • include a MaEvArM microcontroller
  • be fully self-contained (onboard power, processing, etc.)
  • be stable under changes in slope as well as moderate externally-applied impulsive forces


You will demonstrate your team's robot at the beginning of class (3:00 p.m.) on Wednesday, October 28th.
