Tunnel Robot Team
Team Objectives:
Work alongside the Wake Forest Department of Health and Safety and Department of Engineering to create a remote controlled robot that can traverse rough terrain to assist in safety evaluation of tunnels underneath the Wake Forest Reynolda Campus.
Skills learned in this project:
-
Electronics
-
Building with small hand tools

Current Work:
The Tunnel Robot Build Team has created a prototype of the robot, sourced materials that will be used for construction, and is beginning to construct the motor system.
The Tunnel Robot Programming Team is working to implement IR sensors and cameras that can be mounted to the robot to display a live video feed to inspectors outside of the tunnel.
