Autonomous Line-Following Car


Competition Day
The car





















From November 2015 - May 2016, I was a lead designer for an autonomous line-following car. With a team of four other people, we participated in UC San Diego's Grand PrIEEE competition. The car features a TSL-1401 Linescan Camera as our sensor, a half H-bridge to drive our motor, a servo motor for turning, an Arduino as the microcontroller.
