ENGR 103 Final Project

For our final project my partner and I chose the Aesthetic Challenge. We designed the robot to simulate Jimi Hendrix and the creative dance moves he did on stage during his concerts. The robot does a spinning movement, moves forward and backwards, and rocks left to right. We chose to put him in colorful clothing because that is what he wore all the time on stage. He also is seen with a white Fender Stratocaster because that was his guitar of choice, and it was used when he played at Woodstock in 1969, his most popular public performance. The movements are based on his revolutionary performance of ‘Wild Thing’ in 1967. We built our robot using an ESP32, a PCB, two motors and a battery for power and used Arduino to write our program. We spent a lot of time figuring out how to control the motors individually to allow the robot to complete the 360-spin movement and “rock” left to right. We would also often get spins that were more than or less than 360 degrees, which would then cause our robot to go off track. To fix this issue we increased the amount of time given that we set for each movement.
