Week 4 - Spartan Superway
During this week, I began looking for potential components that we could use for the new 1/12th scale pods. There are a lot of parts that we can reuse from the previous pods, but after looking at the final reports of years before, I decided to look at electronics that would help make our bogies better.
More specifically, we plan on removing the Hall Effect sensors and running strictly RFID sensors. The RFID tags are really cheap and previous teams had no problems with them being sensed. In addition, we will be replacing the motor and the battery.
After some research, here are the current plans:

After some research, here are the current plans:
KEEP
- Arduino Mega
- RFID readers
- Ultrasonic sensors
- Servo for switching
- Wheels
- Buttons & LEDs
