This project is designed for low-budget as most electronic components are supplied by Amazon, the manufacturability has been greatly simplified. Most components are easy to use and install. However, it does not provide a high quality of professional design due to lack of organization and takes much more time to individually solder each board.

To drive the DC motors we will be using for our car, we have a L298 motor driver which allows the motors to turn in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Each of the two outputs of the motor driver will be connected to two other DC motors, with each output controlling either the right or left side of the car. For each output, the Tiva Launchpad will output a PWM and enable signals to drive the motors and determine which direction it will be turning. The motor driver takes a 5V input, which will be provided by a common 5V and GND bus that is powered by a 9V battery stepped down to 5V by a voltage regulator. The motor driver also requires a 12V input, but the batteries we purchased did not have enough current to run the driver so we resorted to using a 12V power adapter.
