Project Kits

These kits are meant to be starting points for your project. Because the competition is not a race like last year, feel free to design your robot in any way you would like and use any components you find that would be useful! The sky, or should we say the depths, are the limit.

RoboSub Starter Kit

The RoboSub project is recommended to be completed in a group of 4. The kit cost is $40 per student within the group (a one time payment for the year) and will result in the group receiving the following parts:

Additional parts may need to be 3D printed which are not included in the cost of the kit. These expenses will only be necessary if the group’s design choice makes it so.

The kit fee payment also gives teams access to the club’s consumables including the following:

These consumables will be available at club build meetings during the semester.

RC Boat Starter Kit

This project is also expected be done in a group of 4. The kit cost is $25 per student within the group (a one time payment for the semester) and will result in the group receiving the following parts:

The cost of additional parts as necessary to modify the boat to complete the design challenge for this project are the responsibility of each individual team. However, club leadership knows where to acquire cheap hardware and electronics.

Club Provided Components

The more expensive items such as rechargeable batteries will be provided by the club for use during the project. These will need to be returned at the end of project as they are property of the BYU Mechatronics club.

Additionally, any consumables mentioned above will be available for use at club build meetings during the semester.
