Ferrarobot is a high speed line, following robot with a car-like design that simulates drag racing.  This robot is fairly simple from an electrical standpoint.  The electronics consist mainly of obstacle avoidance and line following sensors and a mavric IIb board.  Ferrarobot features car like mechanical systems that improve performance.  These include a rack and pinion steering column and a rear differential that allows a single motor to drive both rear wheels.
