Statement of Work

• Goal
• Create a remote control device for GIZMO
  vehicle using joystick and keypads of a Bluetooth
  enabled cell phone
• Specifications
• Program microcontroller and cell phone to
  send move commands to trucks onboard
  controller
• Build custom circuit that integrates
  microcontroller, Bluetooth
• module, and accelerometer
• Send accelerometer data from GIZMO to cell
  phone
• Explore adding additional features
• -enable GIZMO to respond to voice commands
• -add keys to include a honk horn event
  and/or send photo
• events
