ME218C, Smart Product Design Practice Stanford University, Spring 2016
ME218C is the third course in the graduate mechatronics series at Stanford University. As the final project for the course, student teams built hovercrafts and remote controllers. The entire class worked together to create a communications protocol so that every controller could control every hovercraft. In the end, the hovercrafts and controllers were showcased in a public demonstration. Teams were encouraged to make controllers that would make users look and feel foolish.
Landlobbyer is a pirate ship that hovers on a cushion of air above the ground and moves based on remote control. The controller contains a hook hand and a steering wheel. The user points the hook hand forward or backward to make the hovercraft move, and turns the steering wheel to steer.
On this website, you'll find information on the project specifications, the design of our hovercraft and controller, a log book of our design process, gems of wisdom for future students in ME218, and our contact info. Enjoy!
