Overview

This Smart Car has three modes. Change the mode at any time using the remote control:

• Remote Control: Use the remote control’s arrow buttons to drive the car directly.
• Line Finder: Create a path with black tape and the Smart Car will automatically move along the path.
• Obstacle Avoidance: The smart car moves forward until it encounters an object in front of it. It will then back up and try to steer away to clear the obstacle.
