After seeing the list of components we could use for this hack, we decided to design a self-driving vehicle with object avoidance.

We build the whole vehicle with the provided parts and used Arduino to control the movements of the vehicle.

Improve object avoidance algorithm and control the speed of the movements.

Worked on improving the existing distance sampling algorithm by increasing the sample size and duration to minimize errors associated with fluctuations and noise in readings from the acoustic sensor.

Attempted to design an inverting polarity system for the motors out of two operational amplifiers in standard non-inverting configuration. Encountered issues with low current output. Looking into transistor based networks to overcome this issue.
