D.A.V.E. - Dave the Autonomous Vehicle Experiment
Neighbor was going to throw this truck in the garbage a few days ago. Kids outgrew it, battery was shot, switches are shot, but the motors, gears, steering, etc. are all still ok.
I snagged it. A friend and I are going to rework it, add a handful of sensors, GPS, ultrasonic, IR, LASER range finders (if I can find something in a reasonable $$$ range), cameras, WIFI, bluetooth, XBee, R/C, whatever else we can think of to throw at it, as long as it's not too crazy expensive (e.g. GPS-RTK is likely more than I want to spend on it). And I'm taking ideas!
Just getting started on it. Haven't even figured out which MOSFETs I want to use in the H-bridge...
