Line Tracking

 

Using only 3 sensors, the team was able to get a prototype working. They mounted their sensor arrangement on the EELE101 car and programmed code in the Arduino IDE to implement it. The car was able to follow the line with great accuracy.

Light Weight

 

Initial calculations and predictions have the overall mass of the car at 748 grams. Optimization was used to design compatible parts and choose the parts with smaller mass.  

Arduino M0 Pro

 

The team was able to use the Adruino M0 Pro instead of going to a more expensive and complex option.

Under Cost

The overall budget is $250. Initial calculations and predictions have the car's cost at $155.84.

This was accomplished by choosing very specific parts of the car to optimize. If a high cost

part had low impact to speed, alternative options were chosen.

 

Design

The overall design of the system has been altered to match the variation in each component added. 

The alterations consisted of steering, chassis, motors, wheels, board, and battery.

The components were then optimized to work together.

 

 

Battery

The battery chosen is a 1000mAh LiPo. This is a low cost lightweight option.

Chassis

The chassis is made out of acrylic and will be cut to size.
