Problem Statement

The primary objective of the project is to develop a remote-controlled vehicle capable of completing a round of mini golf as part of the ASME Student Design Competition. The vehicle’s functionalities are categorized into driving and golf-ball striking. Our group is specifically responsible for the former aspect.

The remote-controlled vehicle is expected to traverse through the designated competition field and exhibit the ability to maneuver between and over obstacles, including a high wall and a low platform. Our design should adhere to the competition regulations set forth by ASME SDC, which include specific criteria for the vehicle such as size limitations, battery restrictions, and the prescribed method of remote control. Successful completion of this project also necessitates collaboration with a striking group. This collaborative effort is crucial for the development of a multifunctional vehicle capable of accomplishing a wide range of tasks as demanded.
