This book enables hobbyists to build their own robotic car, about 1/10th the size of a standard vehicle, for under $1000 -- and learn the mechanical and electrical theory and design secrets behind it. * Step-by-step instructions for building the vehicle, from theory and design to hardware and software implementation * Discussions on mathematical modeling, control design theory, sensors, servos, motors, controllers, and environmental sensing * Printed circuit board files for the car can be downloaded for free from accompanying website
