My Journey into Robotics
Aarush Tripathi
Grade 9
Last year, my first successful flight of a RC airplane which I had built took place, along with the completion of an 8-bit computer. And now, the mega project of a 1.8m wingspan RC airplane
(ATR-72 600) is in full-fledged go-mode.
When I was five, me and my father made a toy car from a small water bottle and a motor and fan. And since then, the building never stopped. But a particular challenge was to build a RC airplane. For more than 5 whole years, I tried to build one but failed repeatedly. But towards the end of 2024, the maiden flight of our bi-rotor airplane was successful and now the biggest project of a giant 1.8m long RC aircraft is being built. It is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Building things itself isn’t the most difficult part, it is starting. So, keeping components at home and a project on mind will make building things a lot easier
