Rc Car
The purpose of my project is to give the user a wonderful experience. It's about controlling the RC car only by wearing a single glove in his hand.
Since I was a kid I have fallen in love with cars and the only way to get in touch with cars was car toys and RC cars. So, now I want to make my RC car to be the first smart device I created from scratch and I give it the name Fadfedo. :D
I gets inspired by videos on YouTube.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
The project idea is a wireless RC car with some features like anti crashing system and fully controlled by hand. When you lean your hand forward, the car will move forward. If you lean your hand backward, the car will move in the backward direction. Turn your hand right, the car will change the destination to the right and the same to the left. The speed of the operation depends on the angle you make with your hand, the more you lean your hand, the car goes faster.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
