Remote Control Laser Tag Tanks

These are remote control battle tanks that use infra-red cannons to tag the another tank. The brain of the tank is the Arduino RP2040 which has on-board blue-tooth communications to all the tank to be controlled with a Bluetooth game controller. I have fully tested the X-Box one controller but design and program should be compatible with other Bluetooth controllers. The tank has a 6 wheel, drop center, drive train which is really fun to drive. In addition, the player can control the turret position moving to through about 350 degrees of rotation. The tanks also have a speaker system that plays sounds and music.
