Inspiration
Built in accordance to the game rules and requirements for the UTRA Hacks closed challenge.
What it does
The car can drive autonomously, open and close the claw, detect coloured tiles, and avoid obstacles.
How we built it
We equipped the car with the provided TCS230/TCS3200 Color Sensor, ultrasonic sensor, 2 DC motors, 1 servo motor and a motor driver. All electronic components are powered by a 9V battery and driven by an Arduino Uno R4 Minima.
Challenges we ran into
In terms of calibrating hardware components, the colour sensor was the most challenging to work with. We ran into problems like burning out the LEDs on the colour sensor and unable to differentiate colours. The 2 DC motors were also difficult to coordinate.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our car can complete the first challenge relatively well, thanks to a well written algorithm.
What we learned
Debug multiple components at once!
