FlameBot

FlameBot is the autonomous vehicle of the future, controlled with an accelerometer and has a flamethrower.

Comment

Inspiration

We really love autonomous vehicles. We also love blowing stuff up. Thus we came up with the flamebot.

What it does

The vehicle is designed to move with respect to the motion sensor on an android phone. It also has a malfunctioning flamethrower on the back.

How I built it

Much of the hardware we sourced ourselves, including all electronics and the chassis of the vehicle. However, the container for the butane canister for the flamethrower was laser cut in the invention studio. The entire structure was then mounted onto the chassis

Challenges I ran into

The flamethrower was the greatest challenge we face, and as a result is incomplete. The lighting mechanism for the flame does not work as we did not have the correct parts.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are really proud of the fact that we have motion based on accelerometer readings from our android device

What I learned

We learnt that electronics is what we're good at, but when it comes to manufacturing things, we are the opposite.

What's next for FlameBot

Complete the flamethrower and watch the cash roll in.
