GPS on wheels

Developing the GPS car is one of our hobbies. We all study physics and even though the project is part of the informatics faculty's internship, we still got it. None of us is originally from Heidelberg, we all moved here from different parts in Germany and met during our Bachelor studies. Right now we are doing our Masters and to us toying with the car is a funny way to improve our problem solving skills further.

But let us introduce ourselves:
Hi,
except tinkering with some LEDs, I had not much experience with electronics before the internship. Because I really like doing handicraft work I thought this project would be perfect to learn a lot and have fun doing it. The prospect of finally programming something that will actually move is also a major motivation in contrast to the simulations I run for my Master thesis.
For my thesis I work at the MPI for nuclear physics in the division Quantum Dynamics & Control. In our group we do time-resolved spectroscopy in the femtosecond domain. My job has to do with the characterization of the pulses in the time domain.
During my freetime I like reading fantasy books, watching stupid videos and movie trailers and spending time with my girlfriend. YES, exactly in this order :)
