The Antisocial RobotCar moves away from you if you get too close and stops if there is nothing close. We wanted to build an antisocial robot car that moves away from obstacles/people. The way it works is by having 2 Ultra sonic sensors in each end of the car. The car can only move forward and backwards. If anything get to close to the car <50cm it will drive away until the obstacle is out of range. It uses 2 DC motors controlled by a L298 DC dual motor controller to move both forwards and backwards. To power the DC motors we use 3 LIthium batteries cabable to deliver approx 11V to the motors. Everything is controlled by the Arduino Mega 2560 which all of the components is connected to.”
