Searching for the idea

I found that robot simple, catchy, and easy to make, so I began to design it.

Welcome my little Zico- F16
The main problem of this project was that the tires were not able to move because its dimensions do not match with the DC hight
in this case I remade it again with a little bit hight to touch the surface and move easily!
Working with a team of creative minds always helps you to learn new things!
Unfortunately, I lost at this hackathon but I learned a lot about WINING stratigies!
The winner team has used a 5v adaptor instead of 9v one
that make its car less speed and more stable on the ground, so it can push other cars out easily.
Connecting more than component on the breadboard at the same time was one of the skills that I have learned at this week, and it will help me to connect between the buttons, buzzer, and LCD in my final project
