S19: Hot Wheels

Project Title

<Team Name>

Abstract

In the HOT WHEELS project, we plan to design and construct an autonomously navigating, electric R.C car which uses CAN bus for internal communication and an android app for selecting car destination. Development of the R.C car's subsystem modules will be divided amongst the eight team members.

Introduction

The project was divided into N modules:

• Sensor ...
• Motor..
• ...
• Android
