Re: Marry RC cars and autonomous control

Why would I want to do this?

Our schools are focusing on STEM. Some of the kids need to be 'hooked'.

RC cars are fast and exciting, but RC by definition introduces the human element. I'd like to have a competition in which the cars would race around a course in the gym. The course would include a section that is not visible to the radio transmitter operator. (An adjacent room, underneath the fold out stands, maybe a cardboard maze)

The cars would be under radio control where they are visible. They would be under autonomous control where not visible.

The winner of the race is the car that navigates the complete course in the least time.

Ken
