About
The disarmament of DrEd’s Doomsday Devices led to the destruction of his evil lair. Reliable sources place DrEd inside his lair 30 seconds before the explosion. DrEd’s demise has led to a power vacuum that has been filled by his former hostages. Teams that were once working together are now seeking to take over the remains of DrEd’s technological empire. The conflict comes to a head when DrEd’s Research Engineering and Design facility is discovered. Rumors tell of a vast wealth of knowledge, including the answers to the ME218b final exam.
The Unbreakable Tank is designed and made by Team 8 for racing to reach the facility first, while overcoming the obstacles and booby traps along the way. |

Functionalities
1. The Unbreakable Tank (UT) relies on four tape sensors to track the black tape to run on the lap.
2. UT uses an IR sensor to detect the location of the bucket.
3. UT uses an spinning wheel as a pushing force provider to shoot the balls.
4. UT uses two encoders and the PID control module to control the torques on the driving wheels to overcome the obstacle(seesaw).
5. UT uses DrEd Reckoning System (DRS) to request information about the position and orientation of UT itself to find the shooting zone, and the entrance to the obstacle. UT also uses DRS to find other Karts' positions to avoid entering the obstacle at same time and receive the status of the race.
