Arduino tank with collision avoidance system. CPE 301 project prototype.

Prototype for my CPE301 (microcontrollers) project.

Inside is an atmega328 MCU programmed using arduino
Also contains a Pololu Trex Jr Motor Controller.
Arduino communicates with the motor controller using serial.
Features an ultrasonic sensor mounted on a servo to avoid collision with nearby objects.
When an object is detected in front of the tank, the tank stops and scans 180 degrees. It then goes to direction of the longest distance detected.
Can run in automated mode(shown)
Also features wireless control via xbee. (not shown)

Future features:
Processing application that would show the distances whenever the tank scans its environments. Data would be transmitted wirelessly using the xbee.
Control via various modules such as a wii nunchuck.
