Tamiya Navigator Bot

Overview

The Tamiya Bot includes motors, a distance sensor, an Arduino board, a motor drive, breadboard, and a Databot with a Temperature Probe. Coding became challenging as all the parts had to work together and in unison without mistakes. Even with the assistance of ChatGPT, our professional helpers, and our own teammates, we still weren't able to solve the issue in our code or possible wiring that led to its failure of motor movement. Not only was the bot itself not moving, the temperature probe stayed at a constant "-127.00C" which was clearly unreasonable. The distance sensor worked great as recorded, but the rest backfired and our group was too late to solve the issue.

Above is the code for the Tamiya bot which supposedly doesn't have any errors according to the automated Arduino code checker for Arduino Uno and ChatGPT itself. We as a group also tried troubleshooting the problems we were running into and failed to do so as everything seemed to be right but simply didn't work on the robot. We were later notified after our project failure by our TA that the Arduino chip we used to upload the program into was apparently never needed in the Tamiya bot.
