Two-wheel self-balance · 2025
Robot Balancer
A robot that stays upright on just two wheels using an IMU and a tuned PID loop. Constantly correcting, constantly thinking.

weird robots.
I'm Arslan Kashif — a teenage maker obsessed with motors, microcontrollers, and Mark Rober's Hack Pack. This is my workbench.

The workshop.
Every build starts as a question. Most of them end up rolling, blinking, or balancing.

Omnibot Forklift
A forklift with mecanum-style wheels — it slides sideways without turning. Lifts payloads while drifting like a pro.

Expressive desk lamp · 2026
RoboLamp
A lamp with a personality. Pivots side to side, changes color and height, saves presets, and even pulls a sad face when you turn it off.

// about the builder
Hi, I'm Arslan.
Year 8 · GEMS Cambridge International School, Sharjah
I'm 14 and I've been hooked on building stuff since I figured out you could make a motor spin with code. I'm a huge fan of Mark Rober's Hack Pack — the way every kit turns into a tiny engineering puzzle is what got me into all of this.
Right now I bounce between balancing robots, weird drivetrains, and expressive gadgets that have personality. If something has wheels, lights, or a microcontroller — I want to take it apart and rebuild it better.
The goal: keep building, keep breaking things, keep learning.
