ELEC 299 Mechatronics Project Units: 1.50
A team design project based around an autonomous, programmable, robotic vehicle. Students explore different sensors and software strategies for vehicle control and navigation, in addition to wiring up sensor and motor circuits. The design goal is to configure and program a vehicle to accomplish a specified task. A final project report that documents the experimentation, design, and testing must be produced.
