Sohaan Chhabra
Hey! I’m Sohaan. If you know me from school or tuition, you’ve probably seen me with a drone or a bot in hand. I love building stuff—whether it's robots, websites, or custom tech setups—and figuring out how to make them smarter.
I made this website to share some of the things I’ve built over time. It’s not just a list of projects, but more like a digital journal of the tech I’ve explored and the challenges I’ve enjoyed solving.
I enjoy being part of competitions, mentoring juniors, and always trying to one-up my previous builds. Below are some of the highlights from my journey so far—
🏅 My Highlights
WSRO Drone Challenge Champion (2023 & 2024):
I bagged 1st place two years in a row at WSRO by designing drones that were fast and could dodge obstacles with ease (after hours of crashing in practice, of course).
IIT Delhi Autonomous Drone Challenge Winner:
This was a big one—competing against college teams, I built an autonomous drone that could pick up stuff with an electromagnet and then drop it at a designated location. Winning the ₹1.5 lakh prize pool at 17 still feels surreal.
WRO Mentor – 3rd Place:
I mentored a WRO team that came 3rd nationally. Our EV3 bot could navigate tough missions, and I handled the strategy, coding, and sensor tuning.
Tech-Head of School:
As Tech-Head, I run workshops, train juniors, and help organize robotics and coding events. It’s fun helping others learn and watching them improve.
School Intra-house Competitions:
I’ve won a bunch of school events in coding, 3D design, web dev, and even fireless cooking (don’t ask how that happened).
Stuff I’ve Built:
- LEGO EV3 bots with PID line following (with two color sensors).
- Bluetooth-controlled 4WD bots using ESP32 and Arduino.
- EV3 car controlled via PS5 joystick—left stick to move, right to steer.
- Raspberry Pi + webcam + speaker to detect stuff and speak back.
Mini FPV Drones:
I’ve built and tuned a few micro drones using Betaflight. I even programmed one to do flips on button press—still perfecting it, but it works!
Cinematic Stuff:
For a school event, I used my DSLR to shoot and edit a cinematic video as part of our CIFI team. Really enjoyed putting the visuals together.
AI Assistant (built with Gemini API):
I made my own AI assistant that can answer questions, generate code, send emails, and help with daily tasks. It’s like my sidekick during projects.
Tools I Use:
Python, HTML, CSS, JS, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Betaflight, Pixhawk, OpenCV, EasyEDA, SLAM, and voice chatbot stuff.
What I'm Building Now:
- A low-cost open-source drone controller (₹2.5k target)
- A self-driving car for WRO Nationals using Pi, sensors, and map tracking on a 10x10 ft mat
👀 Outside the Code
I get super excited by new tech—especially drones and dev boards. I like editing videos, watching drone races, and tinkering with electronics late at night (sometimes too late).
