Projects

FLL Competition Robot

Robot Name: Ruby-bot

A relatively tall competition robot built by student team members for FIRST LEGO League. It took the team through multiple competitions and helped them qualify for the national level.

NHED Smart Glove

Built by: Muhammad Habib

Gloves that recognise specific sign-language gestures and translate them into speech, designed and built by one of our students.

Sumo Robot

A fully functional sumo robot built with LEGO EV3, shown at an exhibition in Uganda.

3D-Printed Headphone Chassis

Built by: Ogbole Favour

One of our students designed a custom headphone frame in AutoCAD and 3D-printed it. The parts snap together without screws, so if one breaks it can simply be redesigned and printed again.

The electronics came from the student's previous headphones, which still worked. Instead of replacing them, a new frame was designed around them.

Ruby Waiter Bot

Built by students from FGC Rubochi using scrap materials and plastic, together with motors and a REV Hub from an FTC kit.

The robot is programmable and moves around a set location. It is controlled from a tablet and can carry food, documents or other items. The students were invited to present it at the Ministry of Education.

Walking Robot

Robot Name: Robert

A walking robot assembled step by step using a building manual and programmed to walk forward and backwards on its feet.

RoboSteer 2.0

Built by: Ogbole Favour

A remote-controlled car built with LEGO SPIKE Essential, a system with real limits compared to larger LEGO kits. Through research and experimentation, the student went past the usual two-port limit and connected it to Scratch for button controls and speed control.

Surveillance Robot

A student-built robotic project assembled using parts from an FTC robotics kit. The project explores how robotics components can be combined to create a mobile platform for surveillance applications.

Walking Wagon

Built by: Ogbole Favour

A manually assembled and programmed robot that combines two walking legs at the front with wheels at the back to enable movement.

Custom Drone Build

Built by: Ogbole Gabriel

A student built a drone from a collection of loose parts taken from different drones. The first job was identifying each part and what it does, then assembling the drone from scratch, calibrating it, building it's frame, testing and troubleshooting.

Research was a big part of it, including AI-assisted research where appropriate. The drone is still in development but has made it through flight testing.

3D-Printed Remote-Control Car

A remote-control car made from 3D-printed plastic parts, with the electronics and control system built on a LEGO SPIKE Prime Hub. It brings together 3D design, printing, robotics, electronics and programming.

REV Remote-Control Car

A custom remote-control car built with a REV motor and REV Hub, also used during activities in Uganda.

Paper Aircraft Piloting System

Instead of a toy aircraft, two small fans carry a folded paper airplane. Students control the fans remotely to experiment with flight, movement, landing and basic piloting.
