Overview: Automated Transport Car

There will always be situations in the world where a robot can successfully do a human's job with more precision and accuracy. This blog explores that sole idea, the idea of an automated car that can navigate itself through obstructions that may be present in it's way. Our Automated Transport Car (ATC) is to be produced from the LEGO Mindstorm NXT Kit and programmed with the software BrixcCC to go track a line and dodge obstacles in  it's path in an ideal amount of time. This idea of an Automated Transport Car can be scaled up to any sizes and already is used in industry. This project is just a small scale version of an industrial car and will prove to be very useful for many different reasons.
