This is an Arduino project. The project is about using Arduino, wheels and cardboard to make a simple fast and furious flip car model.

Step 1: Materials

1. 14x2(cm) cardboard 2 pieces

2. 5x2(cm) cardboard 4 pieces

3. 13x3(cm) cardboard 1 piece

4. 10x7(cm) cardboard 1 piece

5. 7x3(cm) lower angle 30 degrees and 150 degrees (parallelogram)

6. Arduino Leonardo or Uno x1

7. breadboard x1

8. 4 TT wheels

9. 4 AA batteries

10. 2 servo motor

11. 1 straw

12. 1 chopstick

13. 1 9V battery

14. 1 spray paint can (color black) not necessary

15. 1 button

Step 2: Circuit

Step 3: Model

Stick each cardboards to the corresponding length. For the front side and the parallelogram one, the cardboard has to save for around 30 degrees between the cardboard and the base

Step 4: Code
