Description

Our project revolves around designing and creating a prototype of a remote-control car that uses a spherical tire, giving 360-degree control. This car would allow for a full range of motion in every direction, in turn allowing for greater maneuverability with a substantial drop in skill requirement. Our prototype will use a joystick control and an Arduino microprocessor to power servo motors to drive the ball tires, rubber balls in our prototype. Our project hopes to serve as a proof-of-concept for a viable design for a commercially available sphere-tire car.
