Robotics

I don’t really want to do the cordless drill go-cart because it’s very similar to another project which I have done before and it wasn’t very successful and was pretty frustrating. I would rather do something simpler is design, but more complicated in other aspects. I would rather go back to thinking of RC cars which would use Arduino and possibly the 3D printer to make. We may have wasted so much time try to choose a project that some of this is no longer possible, but I hope that we’ll be able to figure it out by Tuesday so we can begin and stop wasting time.

Here are a few links of things which are similar to what I was thinking although some of them have materials or things which we possibly couldn’t use:

An RC car isn’t the only thing which I want to do, but we’ve been having trouble coming up with anything else and are running out of time so this might be one of our only options. It is the beginning of the year so an RC car may be a good project to start with and will give us ideas for different projects we could do later.
