 Given a user input distance and angle. Travel to that specific location even as avoiding obstacles.  Reasonable percent error.

 Move to a specific location inaccessible or dangerous for humans and send back images, even in low light conditions.

 4 wheel platform  Ackermann steering  RWD (DC motor)  Servo will control the tie rod.

 Sonar in the front. React to obstacles in advance for smoother movement and constant speed.  Bump sensor on the back.  Magnetometer or Android Phone IMU for direction.

 Infrared Serial Camera that will transfer JPEG images to laptop via Xbee.  Infrared LEDs for low light conditions.  LinkSprite JPEG Color Camera TTL Interface – Infrared (Sparkfun)

 Received Tim’s board.  Ordered Sonar sensor.  Getting comfortable with ATMEL manuals.  Thinking of possible software algorithms.
