This year, the Open Hardware Miniconf team designed a donkeycar for us at LCA 2019 Christchurch. It's a car that navigates by itself using its onboard camera connected to a Raspberry Pi using training video data gathered and analysed offline by tensorflow. That sure was an ambitious project!
I arrived the day before to help finish up the kits for the next morning:
the cars were eager to perform :)
Andy and Jon who ended up working all night to make sure the kits would work the next morning
rPi with custom last minute hat for the donkey car
Jon gave a talk about the car design
Nice way to support 5V neopixels on 3.3V microcontrollers
