 The photo above depicts the DARWIN Car which allows you to work with more advanced programming for DARWIN-op. The big picture problem is having DARWIN drive the car. Solving this partially or completely is important because it is an excellent method to train pledges how to work with DARWIN. This is a collection of the data for the car. The photo above depicts the DARWIN Car which allows you to work with more advanced programming for DARWIN-op.

-**Step 1**+**Potentiometers**
 \\ \\
 +  *The two potentiometers on the handles are made for steering the car. Pushing the handles forward makes the car move forward and pulling them back causes the car to reverse.
 +  *The two free hanging potentiometers have another function. One affects the zero offset and the other one adjusts the sensitivity. They should be plugged into two analog channels on the controller.
