ROBOTICS & DRONE CLUB
Technical WingRobotics Club
The BEC Robotics and Drone Club is a hands-on technical club dedicated to building student expertise in robotics, electronics, and drone technology — guiding students from foundational concepts to independently building and showcasing working robots at BEC.
“
Club Vision"To build a dynamic robotics community at BEC that transforms students from beginners into confident innovators through hands-on learning, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving in robotics and drone technology."Mission Core
- To provide step-by-step practical training from basic electronics and microcontrollers to independent robot building.
- To ensure every team designs and builds at least one working robot by semester end.
- To cultivate hands-on skills in sensors, motor control, programming, and system integration.
- To organize internal showcases and Demo Days that encourage innovation and presentation skills.
- To establish a strong foundation for advanced robotics projects and future research at BEC.
Objectives & Focus
- Develop robotics fundamentals and hands-on hardware skills in all members.
- Encourage independent robot building and creative problem-solving.
- Promote teamwork through guided and collaborative build challenges.
- Organize a final Demo Day at BEC with faculty and student audience.
- Establish long-term robotics capacity and club credibility at BEC.
3-Month Action Plan
RoadmapMonth 1
Fundamentals — Understanding the Basics
Mastering electrical circuits, breadboards, Arduino syntax, and sensors.
Planned Activities
- Introduction to robotics — components, types, and real-world applications.
- Basics of electronics: voltage, current, resistance, and breadboard practice.
- LED programming and Arduino introduction.
- DC motor and L298N motor driver — motor control using Arduino.
- Basics of IR and ultrasonic sensors — reading and interpreting sensor values.
Expected Outcome:Students understand core components, basic circuits, and introductory Arduino programming.
Month 2
Guided Robot Building — Building with Support
Guided assembly of obstacle avoidance and line following robots.
Planned Activities
- Line follower robot (guided build) — IR sensors and motor control logic.
- Testing and debugging — fixing alignment issues and improving speed control.
- Obstacle avoiding robot (demo build) — ultrasonic sensor logic and autonomous movement.
- Internal competition: fastest line follower and smoothest obstacle avoider challenge.
Expected Outcome:Each team builds at least one working robot through guided mentorship.
Month 3
Independent Robot Building — Build Without Spoon Feeding
Working on customizable tasks and showing them off on Demo Day.
Planned Activities
- Teams independently plan and select one project: line follower upgrade, obstacle avoider, or Bluetooth-controlled robot.
- Independent build phase — mentors provide guidance only, no direct coding support.
- Testing, optimization, and wiring refinement.
- Demo Day at BEC — open to faculty and all students; certificate distribution.
Expected Outcome:4–6 working robots built independently; successful Demo Day elevates club credibility.
