Our project utilizes an arduino rover, an ultrasonic sensor, a raspberry pi computer and a mobile & PC interface all put together to provide an easy & fun learning tool for students willing to learn the control logic behind sensors, robots and chipsets & functions of the same. The Raspberry Pi was used as a server for remote connection. Three API's(Mobile, Web and PC application). A user was able to do basic robot control and learning how control structures work(if and while statements)

This project is solving the Lego Rovers challenge.
