Say hi to ZeZo 🤖
Zizo is a car that can move in an unnatural way and turns 360 degrees and is fast and can run at different speeds, but be careful, he will not run and that's it. If you cannot control him, he will not crash. This is a part of us so that the game does not break quickly. You will be able to control it via an application on the mobile phone or any joystick like the one on the PlayStation.
The reason I chose Zizo is that my childhood was full of love for all cars, whether racing or otherwise, and specialy (العربيه الشقيه 🤪)was a passion for me, and I was amazed at how a car could flip, run, spin and do everything.
I made Zizo because it was a small dream for me to do the thing that I was fascinated by when I was young, and this is one of the reasons that made me enter the Maker Diploma because I know that it will help me achieve this dream.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
The idea behind Zizo is that it will be a tool for entertainment because it is a toy. It is not a traditional car like the ones found anywhere. Rather, it is really impressive. In addition to that, it will not crash if it suddenly hits a wall because there is a fence that will prevent it from doing so.
One of the basic things in Zizo is the wheels, which is the reason why he moves in an unnatural way. The Arduino is the brain of this car, and we have the motor drive, which is the one that will be able to control the speed of the car, and the ultrasonic sensor is what will be an addition and will prevent the car from hitting any obstacle it encounters.
How ZEZO Work ?
When the battery is turned on, it connects electricity to the motors, Arduino, and motor drive. The Arduino will start sending commands to the motor sensors using the codes that I will write to them. The ultrasonic sensor will start sending sound waves to see obstacles in front of it and start avoiding them. The processor will start taking the commands that I give it and send them to the motor drive to control the wheels and move the way I want.

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
