University Of Waterloo

I designed and fabricated a CNC-inspired, autonomous tic-tac-toe playing robot from scratch. The design of the robot used a belt-driven x-axis and a rack and pinion-driven y and z-axis to draw on the underside of a transparent piece of poly-carbonate. The main composition of the project had to be Lego-based, so Lego NXT motors, encoders, and other sensors.
