The goal of the project is to develop a game totally inspired to Mario Kart Wii. It consists in a race among karts ([[I-Racer]]) where players can get strange weapons to obstacle their opponents trying to win the race.

=== Components ===
==== Arduino ====
We use [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardMicro Arduino Micro board] either to manage sensors and to implement low level control:
<ul>
<li>Infrared proximity sensor Sharp D120 ([http://bildr.org/2011/03/various-proximity-sensors-arduino/ Bildr Tutorial ])</li>
<li>Color light sensor ([http://bildr.org/2012/01/adjd-s311_arduino/ Bildr tutorial])</li>
</ul>

==== O-Droid ====
Single board computer used to implement intelligence, image processing and strategy. More information [http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G135341370451 here]. Our instance is running [http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/samsung/odroid-x ArchLinux ARM].

==== WiiCam (opponent kart recognition) ====
Recognition of opponent kart is performed by WiiCam, an IR camera mounted on Wii Remote. In its natural habitat is used to find out at most 4 infrared sources, usually mounted on WiiBar, calculating Wii Remote position and orientation wrt them. In our scenario we have interfaced it to Arduino using this simple [http://letsmakerobots.com/node/7752 circuit] and we have mounted a WiiBar in the back of the opponent kart.

=== Useful links ===
<ul>
<li>LibWiimote, a simple C-library that provides API for communicating with Nintendo Wiimote via bluetooth (http://libwiimote.sourceforge.net/)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> OpenCV, C++ optimized library for image processing. More information about [http://opencv.org/ here]</li>
</ul>

=== Thesis ===
Our thesis will be available in pdf format via poliTesi after April 29, 2014.

[[Image:I-Racer.jpg |thumb|right|140px|The commercial I-Racer Robot Kit.]]

I-Racer is a robot with the car-like kinematics.
The low-level control is implemented by an [http://www.arduino.cc/ Arduino] Uno board, while intelligence, image processing, and strategy are implemented on a [http://www.raspberrypi.org/ Raspberry PI]. It mounts a USB camera (Logitech C270) and a set of infrared sensors. It is used to implement [[Robogames]], in particular [[KartBot]].

There are two instances of this robot at AIRLab-Lambrate
