In this paper, we explore the fundamentals of engineering in order to produce scale remote-controlled cars that are reliable in the sense of performing continuously without failure and collecting data with the use of sensors. We will discuss the various steps and stages that the team had to go through in order to identify and diagnose problems with the scaled cars, and develop solutions to allow them to perform proficiently and efficiently in various tracks while collecting data. Along with that, we will discuss custom solutions created in order to complete certain challenges associated with the cars and their limitations. These solutions may involve alleviating some of the mechanical, electrical, and software design challenges that were not addressed properly by the teams that preceded us. The solutions may also involve altering the current designs of the cars in order to give them more capabilities in the future. The results will provide insight into some of our accomplishments as well as setbacks involved with producing the cars.
