Welcome

Welcome to the official R6 Recon Amphibot Project Report Website for EGR 314. This site provides high-level overviews of Team XPED's modular UART-daisy-chained amphibious scout, from organization to final Innovation Showcase demo.

Team Introduction

Team XPED (302) is committed to delivering an innovative exploration device through collaborative engineering, modular PCB design, and tactical demo execution.
We prioritize standards-based UART communication, serial sensor/actuator integration, and role rotation as we develop the R6 Siege Recon Amphibot, a fragile FPV scout with land/water capabilities.
Our work follows open communication, shared GitHub repositories, weekly syncs, and measurable milestones toward showcase success.

Project Summary

Our project delivers the R6 Siege Recon Amphibot, a 3 PCB modular scout mimicking Rainbow Six Siege drone mechanics: camera/IMU/gas scanning, wheel propulsion on land, flip-out fins for water, and MQTT wireless control.
The UART daisy-chained system (Sensor → Actuator → Ctrl → HMI) enables real-time hazard recon with PID pathing and fragile "destroy" feedback, meeting EGR314 requirements without waterproofing.
Through breadboard validation, Cadence PCB iteration, and lab demos (table breach → tub swim), we create a scalable tactical exploration platform for the Innovation Showcase.
