Definitely Useless Mouse roBot Okay.
Project built off an RC car. Unsure of this specifics as I bought it a second hand shop (bargain!) eons ago (in a galaxy far, far away...). These are my two guesses, but I think the FCC had other RC cars with similiar chassis, so really hard to find the exact one.

Contains concept sketches, mechanical drawings (hand drawn), schematics, and flowchart. Some basic pieces of the design process.
All inside the folder Prototype.
- Contains an .STL to 3D print to hold the rear assembly, of the RC car, in place, replacing the need of the original chassis cover.
- Code is a bit of a mess, so attempt to understand at your own peril.
BEWARNED, things are messy; view at your own peril :D
Contains .STL's and some slicing images
powerHD-1501MG is the testing code to calibrate/check the servo is steering correctly.
Version3_reversing attempt and Version4 were coded to use two shift registers in, cascaded. However, they were not needed in the final DUMBO. shift_registers is a testing file to make sure they are working, and make it easier to debug, compared to integrating it straight into the main code and figuring out "what the HECK is wrong?!??!?".
Version6 is the last version. During testing, two Ultrasonics were needed to be registered stuck for DUMBO to be stuck, but performance might be better with only one required. Dunno.
Here are some:
