The ViCoN-Bot is a standard RC car modified to be guided with a digital camera and controlled with a FPGA board. The mission of the ViCoN-Bot was to traverse a designed course using a digital camera as of means of detection for a series of unique and defining landmarks.

   Ideally, the EE hallway would serve as a full scale course, and future robots would compete in a race based on a design pioneered by the ViCoN-Bot. Design of the ViCoN-Bot consisted of mastering the control of a digital camera, programming an interface between the camera and the FPGA, coding a FPGA module to control the robot, constructing a robot, developing a state machine, assembling a course, and complete testing and debugging.

   The ViCoN-Bot is certain to lay the foundation for more advanced senior designs that utilize digital cameras in analogous ways.
