1. Battle of Waterloo



 

 

This is a speed boat making while competition where students had to fabricate a boat using parts made by them except the motor and they had to design and install a control system on the boat to make it move on the desired path. Students (Raj Narayan Saha- Prashant Yadav- S. Karandeep Singh) , as a group, participated in APOGEE-2011, the annual technical fest held by BITS, Pilani, a nationwide contest. They took part in the event “Battle of Waterloo” whose details are aforementioned. They fabricated the boat structure in the mechanical workshop and designed and installed the control system in the control engineering laboratory of our institute. They used the concepts and knowledge that they learnt in control engineering courses and applied them to the design and installation of sensors.
The design of the boat was that of an air boat being propelled by two air fans and one propeller to brake the motion.
