After presenting the Project Design Requirements, the team met up with the President and Vice President to analyze the current status of the project. Realizing that creating a fully-functioning toy (that has to be spec’d for strict governmental standards such as remote control safety requirements) is not feasible for our allotted time to complete the project, the President suggested we change our mission profile and project objective to a feasibility demonstration.

Current Mission Profile & Project Objective:

Fall 2015 MicroBiPed (μBiPed) is inspired by the BiPed designed by Jonathan Dowdall of Project BiPed. The profile for this semester’s project is to use the BiPed & μBiPed designs to create a toy robot. The chosen design for a BiPed toy is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. To push the profile towards a feasibility demonstration requires a large emphasis on performance and budget. The objective of this project is to complete an obstacle course whilst controlled and communicating with the Arxterra™ Android application.    

Previous Mission Objective:

Fall 2015 MicroBiPed (μBiPed) is inspired by the BiPed designed by Jonathan Dowdall of Project BiPed. The objective for this year’s project is to use the BiPed & μBiPed designs to prototype a toy robot that resembles a Velociraptor. To push the objective towards prototyping a toy requires a large emphasis on cost. Although the mission is yet to be determined, the μBiPed must be controlled and be able to communicate with the Arxterra™ Android application.
