Design 5 -- "NOIR" Sensor Platform

June. 2017
Picture
This beautiful boat is hand crafted and cut from corning foamular foam via hot wires. This catamaran-style boat is able to sail in the water powered by 2 bilge pumps and can be remotely controlled up to 300ft. Inspired by the luxurious finish of the modern automobile and the sleek design of the shark mouth on the classic air fighters; the surface is meticulously sanded, painted with 5-layer high gloss black paint, and coated with water base sealer to ensure its best performance in the water. The name "NOIR," meaning black in French, perfectly represented the fashion of this boat.

Project Goal:

The purpose of this project is to design and craft a sensor platform made out of foam. The sensor platform should be remotely controlled to sail in water with 2 bilge pumps provided.

Requirements:
  1. The sensor should be able to float and maneuver while carrying a 3-pound deadweight, excluding the weight of the functional components.
  2. Steering and speed control capabilities for the platform, which will be operated at a distance of 0-300ft.

Materials:
  1. 2” Owens corning Foamular Foam
  2. 2x bilge pumps, 1100 GPH each
  3. 14V battery, 5600mAh
  4. 2x Arduino UNO Cards 
  5. 2x Xbee Series 1 modules
  6. Relay Shield
  7. Makerbot 3D Printer, PLA Filament.
  8. 9V battery

Racing Result:

​1st Place in the class.
