Dynamo is a dynamic robotics platform built around a distinctive circular profile with two oversized wheels and a compact central chassis. Its design emphasizes independent motor control, balance, and responsive movement.
Unlike traditional front-and-rear vehicle builds, Dynamo suspends a weighted chassis between two large drive wheels, creating a mechanically unique system where motion and stability are closely connected.
Dynamo features a dual-motor drive configuration:
Two independently powered DC motors
Oversized wheels extending beyond the chassis footprint
Compact, weighted central chassis
C2G-Mini Microcontroller
Each wheel is driven separately, allowing precise speed adjustments and controlled turning through motor coordination.
The exposed wheel structure makes rotational motion easy to observe and analyze during operation.
Dynamo connects directly to code2grow.com using the C2G-Mini Microcontroller. Through Windtree’s block-based coding platform, users can control:
Independent left and right motor speeds
Timed movement sequences
Turning radius adjustments
Directional changes
Small programming changes produce immediate and visible differences in motion behavior.
Dynamo supports:
Independent dual-motor control
Tight turning and pivoting
Speed variation and motor balancing
Performance-based movement challenges
Its circular drive system makes it especially effective for exploring how motor coordination influences stability and directional control.
