Inspiration Wall-e

What is it? This is an autonomous device that uses machine learning to process realtime footage to identify trash thats left on the street, and soon in the oceans.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

A lot: Connecting raspberry-pi to arduino, figuring out circuits, getting enough power, getting python working, getting an sd card that worked, getting a monitor that worked, food comas, motor wiring malfunctions, rewiring everything

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we have learned so much in the past several hours and we are at a point where theres a viable works-like protoype.

What we learned

we learned that more components = more power needed,

What's next for Bount-E

we hope to get a fully functioning land version of Bount-E and then we hope to make a amphibious versoin that will allow Bount-E to collect trash accumulating in our lakes, rivers and oceans.
