The F1/10 platform is a modified Traxxas Rally Racer, (a 1/10th scale formula race car capable of speeds up to 40mph).

The ground platform is equipped with the following sensors: Razor 9-DOF IMU, Hokuyo LIDAR, and ZED 3D camera. These sensors are responsible for localization, mapping, and odometry. A Jetson TK1 development board serves as the primary computational unit.

The TK1 runs Ubuntu Linux, and we develop applications for the car using ROS Indigo. ROS provides a communication protocol between processes, language-independent build and management of applications, and a rich library of open-source packages that implement common components of robotics (e.g. perception, planning, and hardware drivers.)

The modded car also includes an external battery pack, a Teensy microcontroller to provide outputs to the Traxxas electronic speed controller (ESC), and a wireless access point (WAP) that facilitates remote access to the car.
