Senior Project

CAT M (Cognitive Automobile Timing Machine): is a mobile version the

•

NHRA Race Track Christmas Tree. It is composed of a parallax

microcontroller and a basic stamp 2 module. Commands are executed

utilizing the PBASIC programming language. The CAT M stages two

automobiles and signals the drivers to commence racing. Once

programmed, it will loop continually. When the vehicles have finished, it

will acquire specific data such as, speed in (mph) and elapsed time in

(seconds). The CAT M uses a complex process with simple components for

example, standard LEDS for signaling drivers and lasers/photodiodes for

capturing data times.
