MicroRobots

Day 1


To start with, I took this course because I didn’t have any knowledge about electronics at all. And sensors are something that could be inculcated in a lot of products and would also help me further in designing products. So on the first day we built a tiny robot of our own with a motor, battery and battery holder, switch and wires to complete the circuit. This was the first time I actually made a circuit on the PCB board and soldered it. First when I tried to solder, I found it a bit easy but later I realized that it has a particular technique. The soldering iron should be placed on the board first at a certain angle then the soldering wire should be held while it melts on the required place. I had a difficulty while soldering the motor because one of the legs broke when I switched on the motor. So the solution was to neatly solder the leg back but I couldn’t do so since I didn’t know where exactly I had to place the leg. So I took Shreyasi’s help for it and learnt how to solder it back. After all the connections were made, the robot worked perfectly fine. To make it move, we used U-pins as legs and balanced the robot. I was very fascinated by the way it moved. Also, everyone’s robot moved differently depending on the way they placed the legs.
