Overhaul

Use Cases

• •Classroom Robotics Project: A teacher assigns a project where students describe a robotic arm that picks up objects. Overhaul generates cutouts, wiring, and code, allowing each student to build a functional arm in under an hour. The outcome is a tangible demonstration of mechanical and programming principles, achieved without prior engineering knowledge.
• •Homeschool Science Lesson: A homeschooler describes a robot that follows a flashlight. Overhaul generates all materials, and parent and child cut, wire, and code together in one afternoon. The result is a working robot that reinforces lessons on light sensors, motors, and problem-solving in an engaging way.
• •Maker Prototyping: A maker experiments with different robot configurations by changing the text description from 'line-following robot' to 'obstacle-avoiding robot'. Overhaul instantly generates new cutouts, wiring, and code. The maker builds both versions in the same day, iterating faster than traditional methods.
• •STEM Workshop: A workshop leader uses the Team plan to have groups of students build different robots simultaneously. Each team describes their project, prints materials, and constructs their robot with shared workspace tools. The outcome is collaborative learning where students develop teamwork, design thinking, and robotics fundamentals.
• •Educational Outreach: An educator presents a robotics demo at a science fair using Overhaul. They generate a working robot from a live audience description. The outcome is an impressive, functional robot built in minutes that captivates students and parents, showcasing that anyone can build a robot with the right tools.

Who is this for?

Overhaul is designed for students in grades K-12 who want to learn robotics without prior coding or engineering knowledge. It is equally valuable for homeschoolers seeking hands-on science projects, and for STEM educators who need a ready-to-use platform to teach robotics in classrooms or workshops. Makers and hobbyists looking to rapidly prototype robot ideas also benefit from the platform. The tool is especially suited for teachers with limited technical background, as it removes the need for CAD and programming. School districts running STEM programs, after-school clubs, and summer camps can leverage the Team plan for collaborative builds. Overhaul serves as a bridge between imagination and tangible robots, making it ideal for anyone interested in accessible robotics education.
