A mother-daughter rover system designed for extraterrestrial exploration built from raw materials in 36 hours at the Georgia Tech IEEE Robotech Hackathon. View on Devpost Overview # TachyAstroach: MoonLine is a mother-daughter rover system where the primary unit launches a secondary sub-unit, with both coordinated wirelessly through custom actuation mechanisms. The project was completed during a 36-hour intensive build at the GT IEEE Robotech Hackathon, transforming raw materials into a functioning extraterrestrial rover prototype.
A 36-hour sprint.
Immersed in a current of Tough 2000 resin, attitude control, ISO bolts, and bus communication — we turned raw materials into an extraterrestrial rover.
The GT IEEE Robotech Hackathon might not be the biggest event, but it was my first real dive into an intensive hackathon-style build. Despite freezing rain and wind, everyone showed up. Our four-member team, TachyAstroach, kicked off the mission.
Another Way to Swim: A Lightweight Bionic Frog Robot Based on Pneumatic System Overview # This project presents a lightweight bionic frog robot driven by compressed gas through pneumatic soft-body actuators. Designed to mimic the swimming motion of a frog, the robot operates on the water surface using inchworm-shaped silicone joints that deform under internal air pressure — generating propulsion and enabling directional control.
