To motivate, inspire, and educate individuals about radio-control systems, micro-controllers and coding by creating a multi-functional remote controlled rubber band tank. We will utilize our programming skills and ingenuity to demonstrate the capabilities of these areas in an educational, and entertaining way.

The bottom 2 buttons are used to drive the tank forward. The tank can’t drive backward, the board was burned out.

The On & Off switch for the remote. These are used to rotate the

tank around its center.

These are used for turning while the tank is in movement.

Challenges

33

-Having rethink our initial motivation to do this project-Coding the functions-Making the turret angle up and down-We burned out important parts and had to replace them-Having to rewire the entire project on the last day-Figuring out our final design- LED around camera did not work- ultrasonic sensors did not work -Light sensors don’t

Future Work

35

We are going to leave the tank at the edgerton center. We hope that future students would be able to see our work and improve upon it. We also hope that future students would be able to get the sensors to work in the fully completed tank.

Conclusion

36

We walked into the edgerton center without any knowledge of coding or wireless technology. Thanks to our hard work and all the mentors and staff we will walk out of campus with knowledge and a solid understanding of engineering and arduino coding.
