Robot for carrying cups of Doritos around a table

Overview:
This project uses three omniwheels to move around an elevated surface, such as a table, while avoiding cliffs using proximity sensors.
Description:
This project arranges 3 omni-wheels in a triangular pattern (akin to a Dorito) and drives them with continuous rotation servos to freely navigate in any direction and rotation. Its ESP32 is programmed to autonomously navigate around the area at slow speeds, and uses 6 IR proximity sensors to detect and avoid cliffs, allowing it to serve snacks to people across the table.
Features:
ESP32S2 microcontroller
3.25" omni wheels
IR proximity sensors to avoid obstacles
Triangular platform for carrying objects
AA battery power delivery with waterproof casing
PCB Status LED Control
