Project
Background
•
In the middle of February, we were given the task of programming and building a
Freenove 4WD car.
•
The task requires us to utilise our expertise in several tasks to create a working robotic car,
use electronics and programming.
•
Our goal was to produce a high-caliber end product that satisfied all requirements and
exceeded expectations.
•
We only had a little amount of time to do the assignment, so we had to work quickly and
cooperatively together.Our group was keen to take on this challenge and to
demonstrate our abilities and originality.
•
The project calls for creative wiring, assembling, and programming of autonomous
vehicles. The effort aims to enhance our skill pool's finite resources.
•
This project's objective is to put together an RC car kit that has been designed in
SolidWorks. We will need to get knowledgeable about the many parts of the car, such as
the chassis, motor, wheels, and electronics. We'll also need to improve our SolidWorks 3D
modelling and design abilities.
•
By finishing this project, we will gain significant expertise in both the assembly of
mechanical parts and the use of sophisticated 3D modelling programmes. We will also
learn more about the mechanics of RC cars and the numerous elements that affect their
performance. This project will provide a wonderful opportunity to learn while having fun.
Specifications:
Specifications for this RC car kit include that it
must have all components required for
assembly, including the chassis, motor,
wheels, and electronics (receiver, servo,
battery, etc.).The package should include a
thorough instruction booklet and be
appropriate for novices. The finished vehicle
must be capable of travelling at least 20
mph.
SolidWorks design requirements: SolidWorks
should be used to create the RC car's 3D
model.All significant parts of the car, such as
the chassis, powertrain, wheels, and
electronics, should be included in the 3D
model.The 3D model needs to be realistic
and detailed, paying close attention to all
required characteristics including windows,
headlights, and other design
components.Using SolidWorks Simulation
software, the design should be evaluated for
performance and structural soundness.
Goals:
#1. Through putting
together a kit, to gain
knowledge of the parts
and mechanics of
remote-controlled (RC)
cars. To gain expertise
with the SolidWorks
design and modelling
programme in 3D.
#2. To acquire expertise
testing and evaluating
the performance and
structural integrity of a
developed product.To
enhance critical thinking
and problem-solving
abilities by resolving any
problems that arise
during assembly or
design.
#3. To encourage
innovation and creativity
through the design and
customization of the RC
car with SolidWorks.To
promote cooperation
and teamwork by
working together to put
the kit together and
create the RC car.to
enjoy studying and
acquiring useful handson engineering and
design experience while
doing so.

The bus project schedule for this semester comprises tasks including
bus project’s design planning, research, testing, evaluation and
implementation. To help us stay on track and make the most of our
time, it provides milestones with strict due dates. No matter what
challenges may arise, by adhering to the plan outlined above, we
can better guarantee that the project will be finished on schedule.

Changes during
the construction
Phase:
•
Problems with assembly: When assembling the kit, there can be
problems like missing parts, damaged components, or trouble
fitting parts together. Changes may be made to address these
problems, including the addition of missing components, the
repair of broken pieces, or the modification of parts to fit
correctly.
•
Changes to the design may be necessary to make the RC car
more functional, such as moving components around or altering
part measurements, while the design is being created in
SolidWorks. Performance evaluations, aesthetic preferences, or
production factors might all influence these adjustments.
•
Time restrictions: During the construction process, unforeseen
delays or time restrictions may occur. To fulfil project deadlines, it
may be necessary to make adjustments to the project plan, such
as altering the timeframe or streamlining the design.
•
financial restrictions: If financial restrictions change, the project
plan may need to be adjusted. For example, using less expensive
components or simplifying the design can help cut expenses.
•
The construction phase was successfully finished, and the finished
product could fulfil the specified quality standards thanks to
flexibility and adaptability to adjustments.

Conclusion:
•
The SolidWorks design project and RC vehicle kit assembly provide an opportunity
to get practical engineering and design experience, learn about RC cars, hone 3D
modelling and design skills, and sharpen problem-solving ability. Changes could
happen during the construction phase for a variety of reasons, but being
adaptable and flexible helps get over obstacles and produce a high-quality
finished product. This project is entertaining, instructive, and offers a chance to
collaborate with others and let your imagination run wild. Overall, it's a fascinating
chance to learn about engineering and design, opening doors to new professional
possibilities and opportunities for lifetime learning.
Resources Used:
RC vehicle kit: The main source
for this project is the RC car kit,
which includes all the required
parts and assembly instructions.
Software called SolidWorks is
frequently used in engineering
and design projects for 3D
modelling and design.Computer:
In order to execute SolidWorks
software, a computer with the
necessary hardware
requirements is needed.
Tools: When assembling the RC
car kit, a number of tools,
including screwdrivers, pliers, wire
cutters, and soldering iron, may
be needed.
Testing tools: To test the electrical
and mechanical parts of the RC
car, testing tools like a multimeter
or oscilloscope may be needed.
Materials: Additional materials,
such as paint, decals, or 3D
printing materials, may be
required depending on the
design and customisation
requirements.
Internet resources: Online
resources can be utilised for
reference or problem-solving
during the assembly or design
process. These include user
manuals, tutorials, and discussion
boards.
