Buggy Model

This system has the following components:

2 Motors - these can be driven forward and in reverse with speed control

2 Lights - these are large LEDS that can be used to show direction, conditions of the system or any visible indicator defined by the user.

Light sensor - this provides a voltage proportional to the light intensity and can be used to start up a sequence, control motor speed.

2 Switches - these are two lever switches mounted at the front of the model. These will be pressed when the buggy hits an object.

This section details the Intellecta control strategies for the buggy.
