Total hours, hackatime and hardware combined: 12 hours 23 minutes Swoop, a remote control car, is my first project using an Arduino! I'm part of a robotics club, and when I asked the electrical lead how I could start learning wiring, she suggested a project using an Arduino. My 7-year-old brother goes crazy for cars, so I figured I'd make him an early birthday gift :D In terms of what it can do, it's basic mobility stuff - but making it travel in curves (aka the Forward_Left(), Forward_Right(), Backward_Left() and Backward_Right()) are what I struggled a lot with - and the car's best feature :) This experience taught me how to solder wires, use a multimeter, wiring, C++ syntax, understanding of the L298 motor driver and Arduino Uno R3, and perseverance.
