"May learn by doing be with you!” The goal of the BB8 project a functioning replica of the famous BB8 robot from Star Wars with as many movement degree of freedoms as possible. The BB-8 Replica project began in 2015, and has since been through many iterations and updates.With the force on our side, BB-8 will finally be completed by the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
Through a combination of mechanical design, embedded systems, custom circuitry, and arduino firmware code, we are hoping to create a rolling BB-8 sphere with a controllable head, and aesthetics similar to the version from Star Wars.
About Us
We are the BB-8 team and we're working on building this life sized droid for open house. We are comprised of various engineering studies.
TEAM LEAD - NOAH
Our little droid is made from a combination of 3D printed parts, custom fabricated aluminum, custom power delivery solutions, and an RF controller board!
