Are you telling me one does not need an EE degree to make hardware like this? How do high school folks have access to resources / mentorship to make such a polished product?
- byran 2y agoAbsolutely not!! This is what MUREX is all about. We are on a mission to show anybody can do this. Change the world one small bit at a time. This was all self learned from the internet, trial and error, lots of passion, and this community. Our mentor doesn’t have a background in engineering so he just gives us lots of emotional support and some physics help. Love you guys!! This is amazing.

- Fordec 2y agoMost major chipsets have their design specs in PDF format online with all the info there for interfacing on a hardware level. Many drivers these days are open source. Kicad is free to use for designing PCBs. And finally https://www.youtube.com/@PhilsLab https://www.youtube.com/@PhilsLab has some good tutorials. Finally, goo into things with an attention to detail to polish a board. A hobby board takes far less time than a product board, but all it is is time and thinking about each attribute more. You don't need third level education to have that work ethic. Best of luck!

- byran 2y agoHello! We got 5k for the entire robot, and our school does not provide much engineering support. MUREX is entirely student run! Of course, we are incredibly thankful to be able to attend such a great school. we are first this year :)
