Project Concept: Segmented Mountain Climber
The Segmented Mountain Climber is a vehicle designed to traverse mountainous terrain by conforming to uneven landscapes.
Key Features:
- Segmented Design: The vehicle consists of multiple connected sections for flexibility and adaptability to rugged terrain.
- Wegs (Wheel-Legs): Spoked wheels with legs instead of rims, offering better grip and the ability to climb over obstacles.
- Universal Joints: Flexible connectors between segments, allowing movement in multiple directions while maintaining stability and torque.
- Servo Steering: A servo motor in the front segment rotates the leading section, steering the rest of the vehicle.
Final Product:
- Built with sturdy materials (wood and rubber) for durability and traction.
- Controlled by an Arduino system, enabling remote operation.
- Designed to tackle obstacles with a combination of flexibility, grip, and precise steering.
The project demonstrates an innovative solution for navigating challenging terrains through engineering and iterative design.
