How it works
Read through our painstaking process of developing the hardware, electrical, and software components of the board.
Learn MoreZoom is a final project for ENGR2110: Principles of Engineering at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering. Our project is a motorized longboard that uses pressure sensors embedded in the board to sense the rider’s movements and drive them forward. We had eight weeks to complete this project, breaking the end of the semester into four two week long sprints, in which we set goals to keep up our productivity. Our five person team consists of two electrical and computing engineers, two software engineers, and one mechanical engineer. We’ve had a lot of fun completing this project and hope you enjoy learning about our board.
The fun of a skateboard, without the sweat.
Zippy RC control gets this board moving.
All of the electronics are packaged beneath the board and out of the way.
If nerdy engineering students can ride it, so can you!
