Zot Bot
Background
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many UCI students were reluctant to leave their dorms and apartments to get their meals and instead used Starship robots for contact-free delivery. However, since Starships are not meant to go off road, they must travel around Aldrich Park to get to their destinations. This leads to long wait times for the customer and risks the food getting cold. The Zot Bot team plans to achieve fast and reliable food deliveries with its all-terrain vehicle's ability to drive through Aldrich Park and traverse any hills, holes, and other obstacles that it may face.
Goal and Objectives
Current Goals/Objectives
- Design and build a remote-controlled vehicle that:
- can safely travel through the diverse terrain in Aldrich park
- i.e., grass, hills, bumps, etc.
- does not cause any damage to the terrain it encounters
- can carry and transport an average sized meal safely with little to no spillage
- can safely travel through the diverse terrain in Aldrich park
Possible Future Goals/Objectives
- Develop an autonomous version of the vehicle
- Increase payload capacity
