Robot in the loop indoor tug-of-war : energy harvesting circuit and interface

Abstract

This report entails research and the design process for the creation of a Tug-of-War machine. The purpose of designing the system is to re-create the game of Tug-of-War in an attempt to overcome the limitations of the game, while retaining elements of the gameplay.

Using basic engineering fundamentals, some initial ideas for the design of the system were proposed, and prototypes were created to test concepts and ideas. The entire design and testing phase, along with the process to try and realize the final product is discussed in the report.
