Outline your design goals to make sure you have a clear scope and success criteria for your project, this helps keep your work focused and useful.

What are my design goals?

• I want to make an example car to help illustrate the process of working on a project like this.
• I want my car to be relatively simple
• I want it to be fun

Now that I have some rough goals, I will elaborate on them to help me narrow down where to start and where to take my project next.

Helpful

explaining my steps

make useful documentation for my project and share it with others

keeping it relatively simple

giving a good place to start while still leaving plenty of room to for others improve

Simple

Optimizing my design to be quick and easy to manufacture

for example, for creating the baseplate of the car I would use the top left

using basic components and circuits

Opting for a standard RC kit rather than building a custom solution with development boards.
