College Senior Project

[KicknAsphlt]

Now that my portion of my college senior project is *knocks on wood* done, I thought I'd finally share some photos. The entire project is a car whose primary function is to drive and navigate autonomously using sensors, with a manual override option. My section was the base chassis, and I fabbed pretty much everything by hand (with the exception of wheels, motors, battery packs, and gears). The link below should be the 'public' link to my facebook album, but let me know if you can't view it...then I'll just upload 'em to my server.

Oh, yeah...and we named it.....Project A.V.I.S.

P.S. I thought about (jokingly) putting this in the 'build' forum, but decided not to take the chance...lol.

How are you controlling it? The little laptop looking unit?

That's the remote control unit for the 'manual override' portion. Other than that, it's using an Arduino microcontroller and ultrasound sensors to navigate itself.

Thought I'd post an update with a video clip from our Demo on Thursday.
