My teammate and I loved to build stuff.

B.A.M. is a robotic car that can pick small items up using bluetooth sensors attached the the driver's arm, in which a joy stick controls where the robot moves, and the sensors on the hand controls the movement of the arm.

We used Arduino and other sensors to incorporate motion sensors drive train. The car it self uses 4 motors, 2 hbridges to control the 4 wheels. 4 battery packs for different parts of the car. The arm is controlled by servos.

The part that goes on your hand uses flex sensors and bluetooth module and communicates with the car

Forgetting to plug in a wire and going through 100 wires to see why its not working. multiple times.

It drives wirelessly, is able to pick things up, and we accomplished our goal that we set out to do.

Since the arm can have 7 different commands, and the bluetooth only sends 1 byte of data at a time, I learned how to use the 8 bits of a byte in my advantage and submit all 7 different information in just one byte.

We hope to develop more ways to use the flex sensors on other parts of the body besides the hand for.

Also more siblings for BA.
