Overview

The Microduino 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.
