3. Project Overview MAVerick (Motorized Assault Vehicle) is a mobile gun platform controlled by a cellular phone that has the ability to establish full-duplex communication with a command center in order to transmit control and status signals. It will contain a paintball gun attached to the platform which will fire at moving targets and have the ability to detect obstacles.

4. Project-Specific Success Criteria ability to detect moving targets using an ultrasonic/IR sensor ability to identify and detect obstacles ability to encode and send control signals through a cellular phone to control the tank/gun ability to receive and decode control signals from the cellular ability to send status information from the tank to the controlling device
