Sharing our experiences creating Autonomous RC Cars

Craig Lawton-Devine and Justin Barrada discuss their experiences with autonomous RC cars.

Justin, a software developer and robotics hobbyist, built an RC car using a Raspberry Pi and a custom PCB called the "maus board" for better control and efficiency. He highlighted challenges like managing the car alone, using a microcontroller to simplify tasks, and the need for accurate timing with an external oscillator.

Craig shares his use of ROS (Robot Operating System) for software development, including custom drivers and mapping tools. Both discuss the importance of multi-disciplinary skills in robotics and ongoing improvements to their respective projects.
