You must demonstrate a working vehicle that will park itself, and hand in a fully documented program.

Milestones:

• Build vehicle ( 5-minute Bot)
• Define algorithm for self-parking
• Write framework for program, with ports defines and algorithm
• Program each step of the algorithm
• Test and refine each step
• Demonstrate robot and print out
• Extra Credit: Robot exits space

Challenges:
• Program your vehicle to back into a space
• Program your vehicle not to hit the car in back
• Program your vehicle to exit a space
• Program your vehicle to detect a space
• Once a space is detected, program your vehicle to move to the correct position to back into the space
• Test entire program
