Project Description

Description Frase (max. 500 characters): 

Everything started when little cousin broke his RC car and aunt asked do i need any of the parts found in there, i said that whole car could be re-used and then i got the car. I putted in big battery, lights, Arduino, H-bridge, Bluetooth module and some sensors.

Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 

Car that is switchable between two modes -- autopilot and remote controll.

Objectives and Innovative Aspects

Wanted to make a car that could be remotely controllable and self-driving. Bluetooth module to controll it remotely and ultrasonic and infra-red sensors to make it self-driving.

Results

Describe the results achieved by your project How do you measure (parameters) these. (max. 2000 characters): 
Car is not hitting the wall if it had registered distance lower than 50 cm with ultrasonic sensor. Car brakes if it has lost connection to phone.
