To build and design a fully functional, completely electric remote controlled car that will be able to reach speeds greater than a 100 miles per hour. David Tran

 Have a control system that ensures stability at high speeds.  Develop a power system to power all necessary components within the car.  To design a high performance chassis and shell.  Use an onboard microcontroller to integrate all the various systems within the car.  Integrate a RF system for communication between a laptop and the car. David Tran

 We will build a GUI interface to control the car.  Mouse  Keyboard  GUI will control speed and steering.  Debugging  Force Sensor  Optical Encoders  Battery Amit Kapoor

 Testing/Backup  2 Channel Pre-Built RF Radio  27 MHz  Testing/End User  Xtend-PKG  900 MHz  Via Serial Port  Size  Will go both ways  Display speed in GUI  Debugging Daniel Bressan

 MSP430-F2616  Cheap  Same Processor as Power Lab  Support  Control  Speed  Stability  Power  RF  Specs  JTAG  RISC  Low Power David Tran

 LiPo 3 cell Batteries  Quick Constant Power  High Amps  Supply Power to  Motors  CPU  Speed Encoders  Force Sensors  Gyroscope  RF Robbie Banks

 Three Phase Brushless Motors  Constant power supplied  Good torque at high speeds  Low Turn Motor for higher RPM  Programmable for high efficiency at low and high speeds  Need upwards of thousand RPM  Possibly 2 for 4WD Robbie Banks

 The motors take three inputs, each is a sin wave 120 degrees out of phase with each other. Robbie Banks

 A three phase output is created by turning on and off the six transistors at a specific frequency and time.  We will need to regulate the frequency so that we get maximum acceleration Robbie Banks

 Speed Encoders  Relay speed to MCU for stability  Relay speed back to user  Sensors  Force Sensor  Anti-Lift  Inclinometer  Steering  Pre-Built  Stepper Motor  Gyroscope David Tran

 Create own starter kit for testing  Kitchen cutting board for chassis  Motors  Wheels  Axels/Gears  After electrical complete start:  Chassis (Aluminum)  Shell (Carbon Fiber) Robbie Banks
