Write problem/project Goal
The goal is to create a "robot car" that will navigate itself along a specified route.

My First Task
I am going to check-out the remote controlled car and examine it. I am going to read the previous groups' projects and start from their successes and failures.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I planned to work on a separate, remote controlled car (one from home). After charging the battery and finding out the car does not start, I started to look into what was wrong with the car instead of working on variable steering which was the original plan.

Week1 Narrative
I planned on finding a remote controlled car at home and working on that separately over the weekend. I found the remote controlled car, rechargeable battery, battery charger, and the remote controller. I, assumed, indicated by the red light, that the battery and charger were working. I charged it for 24 hours. The remote controller turned on, but the car does not turn on when the switch is turned to "on." I tested the battery and its voltage was okay. I disassembled the remote controlled car somewhat trying to identify the problem. I found out it was not the motor since I could run the motor by itself using another battery. After awhile, I could not find the specific problem. I plan to obtain a remote controlled car from class or share working on the one the group has already.

My Second Task
Find documentation on stepper motor function and how to get the motor to work in conjunction with the Arduino in order to control car speed. Obtain a stepper motor for variable speed. Look up documentation regarding how to get the Arduino board, motor, and sensors to work together to achieve variable speed.
