This repository contains all task reports, notebooks, and project links for the UVCE MARVEL AI/ML Level 1 program.
Learned FDM printing, STL files, slicing . Printed a face for maze robot under coordinator supervision.
Built a SpaceX Rocket Explorer web app using the SpaceX public REST API. Displays rocket specs on selection.

Forked the UVCE-Marvel/git-task repo, identified a bug in the add function, fixed it and raised Pull Request #275.

Wrote a technical article on how a fixed-wing RC plane works — from aerodynamics to control surfaces. Published on MARVEL website.
Simulated an ultrasonic distance sensor and a radar system using servo motor in Tinkercad. Also built a physical maze-solver using the same sensor.

Controlled a 5V BO motor speed using L298N motor driver and potentiometer with Arduino. Done on hardware.
Created a standalone web server on ESP32 to toggle an LED from a browser over WiFi.
Learned soldering equipment and techniques. Soldered an LED circuit on perf board under coordinator supervision.
Secured 2nd place at IMPETUS 26.0 — 26th Annual National-Level Technical Fest by IEEE UVCE, powered by HAL. Event: Mechronins.

Studied the L293D motor driver IC datasheet. Covered H-bridge, PWM, flyback diodes, pin configuration and comparison with L298N.
Structured a professional Jupyter notebook with Markdown formatting, Python variables, and Matplotlib visualization.
