Snow Removal Concept

Objective

To investigate a concept for an autonomous robot designed to clear snow off broomball courts, thereby freeing up more time to play broomball.

This project was completed as part of Michigan Tech's ENG1102 (an engineering fundamentals course) in a group of 4.

Deliverables

In the process of developing the concept, the team produced deliverables detailing the need for the product, functional requirements of a successful product, an analysis of potential solutions, and a hazard analysis.

Concept

The final robot consists of a scoop, bucket, and drivetrain. It is largely 3D printed. The model uses an Arduino control system driving TT motors and SG90 servos and reading a HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. The code base is written in MATLAB, and instructs the robot to follow a path to clear the courts.
