Overview
The project is to create a network of at least two cars that can dynamically connect and disconnect with each other through a latch to allow for easy data sharing between unique sensor systems. Each car will be able to locate the other and align themselves to attach properly. The alignment will be aided using an electromagnet in the latch. Once attached, wires in the latch connected to the microcontrollers of the cars will allow for communication.
