Introduction

This project modifies a complete built remote control car to act as an autonomous sumo robot car. The provided Sensor kit is added onto the car. The kit consists of two Infra Red (IR) sensor boards for the front and rear the car, corner sensors detect the edge of the platform area. A PIC controller on the rear sensor panel can be programmed using CoreChart to keep the car on a white platform. It can also be easily programmed to find other cars. The idea is to push the other car off the platform and win the competition!

Features/Specifications

  • Easily constructed by students who have basic soldering skills.

  • Kit supplied with working remote control car and all parts needed to modify the car.

  • Uses two PIC16F616 microcontrollers on two sensor boards. 

  • Includes a side switch to select remote control or autonomous mode.

  • Can also be programmed to avoid obstacles, move along lines and even follow a light source.

Input/Output Circuits

  • Sensor boards are wired directly into the RC car control board.

  • Infrared transmitter and receiver to detect other cars or objects in front of the robot car.

  • Corner light sensors with bright green LEDs to detect black or white areas or lines.

  • Buzzer included for user programmed sounds.
