Today we brainstormed ideas for our project.  Right now we have decided to build a small RC car capable of being controlled by an infared remote.  We ordered two mini meatal gearmotors from SparkFun, an H-bridge, and an infared remote for the car.  We are not sure how hard the infared sensor will be to program for the car, so we may or may not stick with this idea.  We plan to meet later this week to begin work on the solid model of the car on SolidWorks.  We are going to wait to work on the Arduino code until our parts come in, so we should begin that next week.
