I found a couple of different 3D printed potentiometer knob designs, all from thingiverse. I particularly liked the ones that had a customization aspect to it, so you can have the standard design or create something interesting. These first two are under the category of normal looking knobs. They’re clean Read more…
On March 19, We did a workshop at Sikka Art and Design Festival. The workshop was on teaching people to make Wheggo v1 and testing them out. We prepared the building materials before the workshop, such as laser-cut cardboards, pre-built circuits, etc. We also made a tutorial for the participants. Read more…

In Wednesday’s lab, we started to design and assemble robot prototype II. For this prototype, we decided to keep the wheggo design but use four motors and add remote control to it. Micheal and Prof.Mang focused on designing the main body of the robot. We decided to print out the Read more…
We made a prototype wheg (wheel = leg) robot. The robot can conquer surprisingly difficult terrain, especially considering it’s mostly made of cardboard and hot glue!
