Our senior design project focuses on developing a small robotic vehicle capable of autonomously or remotely carrying a standard water bottle up the 19-step staircase outside the UCI Engineering Gateway. The staircase’s steep incline (≈ 28–30°) and uniform geometry make it an ideal test environment for evaluating robotic stability, traction, and torque control. The main design challenges include maintaining balance on steep risers, generating sufficient torque to lift a 5 kg total mass, achieving autonomous step detection, and limiting system weight to under 10 lb for safe outdoor operation. The goal is to produce a simple, reliable, and efficient mechanism that can consistently climb all 19 steps without ramps or tethers while maintaining a tilt angle under 10°. A successful design will demonstrate over 90 % climb success rate and stable performance across multiple trials, showcasing the integration of mechanical design, control systems, and power optimization.

This project focuses on converting a commercially available 1:18 scale RC boat into a fully functional RC submarine to address a gap in the remote-control vehicle market. Most RC boats are limited to surface operation, while existing RC submarines are costly, specialized, and restricted in depth capability. By redesigning an off-the-shelf RC boat, this project aims to achieve both surface and underwater operation, with the ability to submerge to a depth of 9 ft, travel 25 yards across a pool, and resurface. The design focuses on addressing challenges in waterproofing, buoyancy, and propulsion through the integration of a ballast system, sealed hull, and control system.

Team 28 is developing a flat-plate stair-climbing robot designed to carry a standard water bottle up the Engineering Gateway stairs. The design uses a rigid flat-plate chassis paired with oversized wheels to maintain continuous traction and clearance on 7″ rise × 11″ run steps. The flat-plate structure simplifies manufacturing and keeps weight low, while the large-diameter wheels reduce impact forces and allow smoother transitions between steps. Over Fall quarter we focus on concept validation, chassis strength, and wheel sizing; Winter quarter emphasizes drivetrain integration, speed optimization, and testing. Success will be measured by climbing all steps as fast as possible without tethering or payload loss. The project demonstrates the balance between mechanical simplicity and high-mobility design in stair-climbing robotics.

This is a test for MAE.

Conceptualized by the MAE Department's Teaching Staff, this project seeks to design, manufacture, and test a small cannon that is capable of (1) locating and tracking an RC car from a distance of 5-15 feet away as it moves within a 360 degree area of the cannon, and (2) shooting small, non-lethal ball-shaped projectiles to precisely hit the car. With the exception of the initial loading of the balls into an onboard storage container, the system operates entirely autonomously with no further user interaction. 

This project aims to design a cannon system that is capable to detecting, tracking, and hitting moving targets within a 360-degree area at a distance from 5 - 15 feet. With the exception of loading cannon balls, the system should work independently even without any user knowledge. By utilizing ultrasonic sensors and computer vision with OpenCV we accomplished autonomy, creating a system that is trained to hit RC Cars. Upon initial detection, our cannon automatically corrects pitch and yaw values to launch cannonballs at the target's predicted path position.

Successful launch operations for the UCI Rocket Project Liquids Team’s rocket, MOCH4, depend on performing pre-launch procedures efficiently and consistently at the Friends of Amateur Rocketry (FAR) site. Delays in setup increase exposure to rising wind speeds and propellant boil-off, both of which reduce launch success and altitude performance. To maximize performance and prevent the waste of money and time on the trip for an unsuccessful launch at the FAR site, the team is developing a modular launch rail that matches the FAR setup, enabling full-scale cold flows in the actual launch configuration and providing a realistic environment for assembly practice. This system reduces setup variability, improves data accuracy, and helps ensure reliable and repeatable launch operations.

The project aims to convert a 1:18 scale RC boat into a functional RC submarine that can operate on the water surface and submerge to at least 3 meters, with reliable surface return. Our team will explore design modifications addressing the limitations of existing RC boats, particularly in waterproofing, buoyancy, and propulsion, involving concepts from hydrodynamics and mechatronics. As commercially available RC boats are not built for submersion, this project provides an opportunity to apply engineering principles to create a hybrid vehicle, navigating challenges like sealing electronics and managing hydrostatic pressure. Therefore, the final design will integrate mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems to achieve controlled buoyancy, structural underwater integrity, and precise movement underwater.

This project details the design and implementation of an interactive wheel engineered for a controlled outcome. The primary objective is to develop a system that appears to function as a standard, unbiased game of chance while allowing an operator to dictate the final position of the spinner secretly. A key design constraint is that this manipulation must be entirely undetectable to the user, preserving the illusion of a fair and random spin. The final prototype is a fully realized, unpolished apparatus where all the electronic components are completely concealed within the housing. The wheel responds to a user's physical spin with natural momentum and damping. However, it is also remotely programmable, enabling an operator to pre-select a winning segment.
