Title:

Investigating Rapid Prototyping by Making an RC Tank

This project investigates the potential of rapid prototyping in creating functional models by designing and assembling a radio-controlled (RC) tank. Utilizing 3D printing technology for cost-efficient and quick production, our team produced various components of an RC tank, integrating them with electrical elements for wireless operation. The use of an ESP32 microcontroller facilitated rapid coding and robust processing, proving to be essential for managing the tank's functions, such as movement and firing mechanisms. The circuitry designed allowed for rapid iterations and modifications, promoting efficient prototyping. The project resulted in the successful creation of an operational micro tank, suggesting that 3D printing, and microcontroller programming are valuable tools for rapid prototyping, offering a viable alternative to traditional manufacturing processes. The work demonstrates the practicality of these technologies for hobbyists, startups, and large companies alike, showcasing the prototype as a cost-effective and quick-to-produce model that may serve as a basis for more refined future products.
