The Goal
The goal of this project is to provide a framework in which you can apply your knowledge of microcontrollers and multi-processor communications to a task that will provide an enjoyable experience for the users and the observers.
The Task
Design and build a tele-operated Loyal Only By BriberY Influence Spreading Technology (LOBBYIST) vehicle - the hovercraft - and a companion Political Artillery Controller (PAC) - the controller. Groups of LOBBYISTs will operate in the Political Arena (Figure 1 below). During rounds of the game the two groups of PACs, through their LOBBYISTs, will attempt to herd the lawmakers through the appropriate door and thereby pass the most important legislation of our day.
