Da Whip 2.0
We made a car for class. It's actually pretty cool.
The name "Da Whip" is pronounced as Stewie from Family Guy says, "Cool Whip."
Supplies
- Arduino
- Two breadboards
- Three line sensors
- Two hobby DC motors

Building instructions:
- Attach the Arduino and the breadboards to the chassis.
- Hot glue the motors to the bottom of the chassis opposite of each other and attach the wheels.
- Wire the motors and motor controllers into the Arduino using the wiring diagram.
- Attach the top printed part, while mounting the 2nd breadboard with the ultrasonic distance sensor and IR sensor also using the wiring diagram
- Attach the swivel wheels.
- Mount the line sensors to the front of the car pointing towards the ground.
- Download the file containing the code to the Arduino.
- Connect your computer to the car and upload the code.
- Disconnect computer and attach battery back to Arduino.
