RELAYBOT
AIM:
To The aim of the Relay Bot is to enable control of high-
power devices via mobile using Bluetooth communication,
specifically designed for relay games to simulate Olympic-style
touches and actions.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
S.no Product Name Qty
1 4 Wheel Chassis Kit 1
2 Limit Switch 2
3 Relay Quest Board 1
4 3.7V Li-ion Battery 3
5 3S Battery Holder 1
6 8mm LED 1

The Relay Bot is a two-player maze game where


players take turns controlling their bots. The first player
starts with the LED on and hands over control by hitting
the second player's bot, turning off their LED and
activating the second player's LED. The second player
then navigates their bot to complete the maze.

2
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Relay Bot works by using Bluetooth communication to
receive directional commands from a smartphone app. Two
limit switches are integrated: pressing the back limit switch
turns on an 8mm LED (symbolizing a "touch"), while pressing
the front limit switch turns it off. The bot moves based on app
commands, making it ideal for relay games with precise and
interactive control.
Safety note: Be careful when working with electrical
circuits. Make sure that the battery is disconnected before
connecting or disconnecting any wires.

PROCEDURE FOR CHASSIS ASSEMBLY:

Install a pair of the acrylic geared motor holder long the


transparent acrylic glass pate. Insert one on the hole from
below and put the one beside it. These will hold the geared
motors in position once screwed
Insert the geared motor between the two holders and
screw it through the holes.

5
Repeat the process until all 4 geared motors are
installed. Using the wire cutter strip the tip of the wires and
connect the two geared motors located on the same side in
parallel (Red wire to red wire and Black wire to Black Wire).
This will ensure the proper rotation of the motors for the
robot car to move or turn

Install the copper pillars on 4 corners and 2 sides of


the transparent acrylic glass plate.

6
Fix the wheels

Screw the second transparent acrylic glass plate on top of


the first one separated by the copper pillars. Make sure to
separate the wires of the motors on the left from the motors
from the right.

INSTALLING CP210X DRIVER:

The CP210x driver is essential for enabling


communication between a computer and devices like the
ESP32, which use Silicon Labs' CP210x USB-to-UART bridge.
It creates a virtual COM port for seamless serial data
transfer, allowing tasks such as programming, debugging,
and monitoring the ESP32's performance.

INSTALLING CP210X DRIVER:


STEP1: Download CP201x driver from the following link:
https://mega.nz/folder/xBYiFD5B#TE3D8WAf4VqR7QIf8TyWRg

STEP2: Extract the downloaded then select suitable bit


files according to your PC (32bit or 64bit).

8
STEP3: New window will open. To continue, Click Next.

9
STEP4: Click on “I accept this agreement” check box.
Then click on “Next >” button.

STEP5: Click on “I accept this agreement” check box.


Then click on “Next >” button.

10
ADDING BOARD MANAGER:
STEP1: Open Arduino IDE in your PC. Add the following
preference link located at “Files> Preferences”.

STEP2: Open Board manager Search “esp32 board” then install


“esp32 by Expressif systems” Version: 3.0.7.

11
CODING:
STEP1: Download Arduino code for the relay_code.ino file
from the same link. Open the file into Arduino IDE software.
Change device name according to the following template “
Student name_Grade_name”.

PROGRAM UPLOADING:
STEP1: Connect ESP-32 to PC/Laptop using Type-B USB cable.

RELAY QUEST BOARD:

The "Relay Quest Board" is a versatile PCB designed for


ESP32 integration, featuring a dedicated ESP32 slot. It includes
an L298N motor driver pin out for motor control, a DC jack
supporting up to 12V input, an 8mm LED indicator, and
connections for limit switches. This board is ideal for robotics
and automation projects.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM:

16
LIMIT SWITCH PLACEMENT:

The limit switches are secured to the chassis using


double-sided tape, positioned centrally at the front and
back. These switches are used in the relay game to
control the touch LED—turning it ON with the back
switch and OFF with the front switch—symbolizing
successful touches.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
ZONE-2B-GRADE-6,7&8
TORCHBEARER’S QUEST
Teams: Each team consists of two robots and their
operators.
Operators: Responsible for controlling the bots via
Bluetooth, ensuring accurate line following, managing pH
paper colour changes, and performing smooth torch
handoffs.
Course Navigation: Bots must follow the designated line
throughout the course without deviating.
Torch Handoff: Must be smooth and precise at designated
relay points to avoid penalties.
Starting the Race: Begins with the first bot at the starting
line with the torch.
Relay Points: The first bot must pass the torch to the
second bot at the first relay point.
Lighting the Torch: The second bot must light up the
Olympic torch at the final destination.
pH Paper: Each bot is equipped with pH paper on both
sides. When passing through mist, prolonged exposure
changes its colour, reducing points.
Obstacle Penalties: Failing to navigate obstacles like the
rotary gate results in point deductions.
