Chemically Controlled Car (AICHE Chem-E-Car 2017)

We designed and built a robot car from scratch, which could travel a target distance using a chemically controlled Iodine Clock Reaction.

Problem Description

  We had to build a robot car from scratch with the aim of traversing a predetermined distance using a chemically controlled timed reaction.
I Designed and prototyped 3D printed enclosures, chemical delivery mechanism and heat sinks for Vanadium Redox Battery used in the car using SolidWorks
I developed algorithms and software using Arduino for interfacing with the chemically controlled stopping mechanism deployed on the car
