DIY mini boat

Yo friends!

Built my own mini electric boat and yup… it floats AND drives across water like a boss 🚤💨
No fancy tools, just smart creativity and a bit of engineering sauce 🧠🔧

🧰 Materials You Need

(You can buy them by just clicking below 🔗)

  • Small DC motor

  • Propeller

  • Battery

  • On/Off switch

  • Wires + glue

  • Thermocol / Plastic / Foam (for the boat body)

  • Ice cream sticks or bottle caps (for balancing)

🛠️ Build Process

1. Boat Body First:

  • Cut a piece of thermocol or foam into a boat shape.

  • Add bottle caps or sticks at the bottom for balance and support.

2. Motor Setup:

  • Glue the motor at the back of the boat.

  • Attach the propeller to the motor shaft.

3. Power Connection:

  • Connect the battery to the motor with a switch in between.

  • Use wires and glue to secure everything in place.

4. Water Test Time:

  • Place it in a tub/pool and switch it ON… and BOOM — smooth sailing 💨🌊



🌟 Why This Build is Fun:

  • Teaches how boats actually work

  • Looks super cool

  • Great for school projects

  • You can even upgrade it with remote control later 🕹️

💬 Final Words:

Making a DIY electric boat is lowkey one of the most fun builds I’ve done.
It’s simple, exciting, and you get to flex it on water 💧💪
Try it and let me know how yours turns out!

🏗️💧 I Built a Hydraulic Excavator Arm at Home (Using Injections & Pipes!)

Hey, it’s me, Sintu — a teenager who loves building stuff instead of just watching reels all day 😅. Recently, I built something super cool : a working Excavator  arm that uses hydraulic power . No motors. No batteries. Just water, pressure, and some jugaadu creativity. Here’s how I made it 👇 🧰 What I Used to Make My JCB Arm I didn’t buy any fancy kit. I made it with easily available stuff (and some from the local medical store 😆) 🧩 Item 💡 Use 6 Injections (Syringes)    For creating the hydraulic push-pull action PVC Pipes           For making the frame and structure Plastic Pipe / IV Tube         For connecting the syringes and transferring pressure Wires        For joints and extra strength Water       The actual fluid to create hydraulic pressure 🛒 Similar stuff on Amazon (you should buy them for every robot): Pipe for hydrolic pressure PVC sheet for bod...

Hello World! A Teenager’s Introduction to Robotics

  Welcome to Rbot Boy: My Robotics Journey Begins! 🤖 Hey there! I’m Sintu, and this is my first ever blog post on Rbot Boy . I’ve started this blog because I’ve a strong interest in robotics , and I thought — why not share my journey while I learn? I’m a teenager, and I don’t have any fancy coaching or classes. I just explore stuff on the internet, try small experiments, and learn by doing. It’s not always easy, but it’s a lot of fun! Why I Made This Blog 🛠️ I’ve always been curious about how machines work. When I saw videos of small robots doing cool things — like avoiding obstacles, following lines, or even picking up stuff — I got super interested. Since I’m just starting out, I thought maybe other students like me might also be searching for simple ways to learn robotics. So this blog is like my notebook — but public! You can learn with me, side by side. What You’ll See on Rbot Boy I’m planning to post: Basic stuff I’m learning in robotics Simple projects wit...
