The BIGGALO Wall Climbing Robot was an ELEC/CENG 499A Design Project Course project
at the University of Victoria.
BIGGALO (BIG uGly And LOud) is a pneumatics based robot that is designed to
climb relatively smooth vertical surfaces. It was designed and built during the
Summer semester (May-August) in 2003 by a team of Engineering students at the
University of Victoria. Information on its design, how it works, goals and the team
can be found on these webpages.
The project itself was an exercise in mechanical design, control, and
microcontroller programming. It worked to combine the mechanical, electrical and
computer engineering fields together.
