ucdnatcar

Natcar is a design contest created by UC Davis and National Semiconductor and run in conjunction with UC Berkeley. It is currently sponsored by National Semiconductor, Intel, and Boeing. Teams design, build and race autonomous cars on a track marked by 1"-wide white tape. In addition, there is a wire under the tape that has a 100 mARMS 75 kHz sinusoidal current flowing in it.

The contest is intended for undergraduate students, but teams with graduate students and/or high-school students may attend the competition, although they may not be allowed to compete.
