for the robot.

Motor Driver Controls the operation of

the electric motors.

 Arduino Nano A compact and versatile
microcontroller that has an
open-source hardware and
software platforms which is
designed for easy
prototyping and
development of electronic
parts.

Pepito Board An alternative for the bread

board, designed specifically
for robotics. This is used a
sort of motherboard of the
robot.

Motor Brackets Used to hold the motors and

wheels in place.

Gear Motors Motors that power the

wheels, enabling it to spin
and move.

Caster Wheel This is the acting front wheel

of the robot.

Kenneth Aquino Raphael Lim Jerwin Andrew Pecara

 Battery Used to power the robot
remotely which 9 volts of
power.

2 Wheels Powered by through a

motor, this allows the robot
to move around.

2 Short Screws and 2 nuts. Used to keep the motor

driver in place.

Kenneth Aquino Raphael Lim Jerwin Andrew Pecara

 4 long screws and 4 nuts. Used to keep the motor in
place.

2 long screws and 2 nuts. Used to put the caster wheel

in place.

IV. Instruction:
1. Clip both red and black wire.
2. Connect the wire to the motor driver.
3. Solder the wire into the motor driver.
4. Put the motor brackets in the gear motors.
5. Loose the screw of the green part of the motor driver.
6. Put the wire to the green part of the motor driver
7. Tighten the screw of the green part of the motor driver.
8. Put the motor driver to the designated place in the pepito board and screw it.
9. Put the gear motors on the pepito board and screw it.
10. Insert the wire to the motor driver.
11. Insert the caster wheel under the pepito board and screw it.
12. Insert the wheel to the bracket of the gear motors.

Title: Implementation of Forward, Reverse, Turn Left, Turn Right, Stop

I. Summary/Description/Overview:
The objective of the project is to code a car robot that could do forward, reverse, turn left, turn
right and stop.
II. Learning Objectives:
The students should be able to:
1. Understand how it supposed to do.
2. Write a code for the car movements
3. Do trials in the written program to the car robot.

III. Materials:
*No materials needed for this activity*
IV. Instruction:
1. Analyze how the car is supposed to moved.
2. Write some codes in the program for the forward.
3. Try if the program works properly.
• If the program works properly, then you can proceed to the other car movements.
• If the program doesn’t work properly, then try to modify it until it succeeds.
4. Write and code the program until everything works properly.
5. Save your program into your device.
