Ok, so I am spose to build a robot for physics class as the last project.
Me and my friends thought we should build a RC car with an LED heart on the top. THe problem is we are in need of direction. Does anybody know what is needed and what needs to be done to build a small RC car? If so please reply.

So far I have:
Basic stamp micro controller from my sumo bot
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Heres a two part document:

If you need specific help with the H-bridge (or LED circuits) post in the electrical engineering forums.

Good luck!
