Bluetooth RC Car

Introduction

The bluetooth remote control car (BT RC Car) is a wirelessly controlled remote control vehicle. Unlike most remote control (RC) cars you can buy from a hobby store, this RC car can be built from scratch - that is, both the vehicle AND the remote! It is quite zippy, and the handling is decent. However, it is limited in terms of terrain - not recommended for slopes or outside in general. But it is great to keep at your desk or office, to entertain your cats (:3), and for educational purposes. We teach a ton of concepts that go into creating our BT RC Car! How to communicate from device-to-device (e.g. Arduino to Arduino) using a bluetooth module, how to CAD - both PCB and 3D model - your car, programming AVR microcontrollers, and general prototyping circuitry.
