Project

Team Members (Minimum fiveMaximum

10) (Assign your team a good name)

You can copy but do not cheat (Consult

seniors, electrical engineers for actuation,
programming, power supply etc)

You will start your project exactly after Mid

term (Title will be submitted before mid term
with group members name) (Make the report
as you progresses in the subject)

You can not take physical model back so make
