The Flipper

This was a high school project where a friend and I built a remote-controlled toy car. It is controlled by an Arduino code, through an Arduino Uno chip. 

Its bottom and overhead shells are made out of sheet aluminum. We sawed out the appropriate plate sizes, and used a mallet to bend them. The Arduino Uno is placed within the bottom chamber. It was used to directly control the wheels' rotation. This is done by wiring two servo motors to the Uno, and the motors rotate both rear wheels. The front two wheels are held in place with a plastic axle rod.  The top cover was properly bolted in place.

The car is programmed to roll both forwards and backwards. Overall, this was a great opportunity to get exposed to hardware and software skills. The duration of the project lasted one month.
