Screaming Roomba

Description

The project aims to create a roomba-shaped car that drives around and "screams" when it encounters obstacles.
We plan to continue adding more features (such as voice lines of a certain character instead of the scream) in the near future.

Lessons & Future Steps

Lessons learned:

1) Pay attention to the size and functionality of the components (capacitors in particular) before ordering!

2) Look at ESP32 specs carefully as some pins are not general input and have different functionality.

3) Always order extra passives as they get lost / not properly soldered easily.

Future steps:

1) Changes to reflect #2 above.

2) Add additional voice lines of famous anime characters for the roomba to "scream".
