Bluetooth Controlled Tank

Class Project: Advanced Applied Robotics (Spring 20)

This was a project for advanced applied robotics. We were able to choose any project as long as it was sufficiently advanced. My teammate and I chose to create a Bluetooth controllable tank capable of driving, turning and firing a string of ping pong balls. I focused on the electronics by designing and assembling a PCB with 3 motor drivers each capable of controlling two motors(2 front, 2 back, 2 for firing cannon). My partner designed and assembled the body of the tank as well as the cannon. In addition to the PCB I designed a app using MIT App Inventor for my smartphone to control the tank as well as writing the control code using Arduino.
