Our project

This car is equipped with a micro:bit and a b.Board from Brilliant Labs. It’s coded to open and close to pick up items while driving and it even lights up to help in the dark. The car has a strong, pointed front so it can travel through tough environments like mountains and rocky areas.

Our inspiration

Our inspiration was to design a vehicle that could deliver supplies to people living in hard-to-reach places, helping them get the necessities they need so that they can continue to live in their communities.
