Because Controlling Tanks in China is Fun SUPER TANK Because Controlling Tanks in China is Fun

Overview The Long Range Vehicle Control project is a collaborative effort between the Super Tank senior design team and a group at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to design wireless vehicles that can be controlled remotely through the internet. The tank vehicle on Purdue’s side will provide a video feed to a controller application. This application will send controls to the vehicle in order to steer it and fire the tank’s Airsoft cannon. The controller will also have the ability to control the HKUST vehicle, and their controller will be able to control the tank.
