  The buggy at base

Inspiration

What it does

The buggy uses 3 Omni-directional wheels to move. Where it moves is decided by position/orientation of your hand detected by a leap motion controller. The big huge red button fires the M&Ms using a turret whose aim is set by your hand's gestures

How I built it

Learnt to interface with the Leap Motion controller, detected gestures through Processing, sent that onto an Arduino using serial. Sent that data to the buggy's Arduino using nRF

Challenges I ran into

Leap motion libraries and serial communication had proven to be very unreliable

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Got the buggy's control perfected. Were to quick to understand and implement the Leap Motion libraries. 3D modelled and printed the firing mechanism from scratch in the 24hrs provided

What's next for Tri-Omni-directionalWheeled Gesture-Controlled Buggy wTurret

A more responsive and reliable communication standard, integrate the shooting and moving.
