Detailed Description

High-level API for driving and steering the R/C car based robot and retrieving the value of its RPM sensor.

The robot's motors are controlled by a motor driver that is in turn controlled by a Propeller-based I/O board. This board connects to the Robolocust computer (the mini-ITX Debian box) over a USB port. The lobot::RCcar class implements the motor API defined by lobot::Robot by sending off all the drive and turn commands to the Propeller.

Additionally, the Propeller board also interfaces with a Hall effect sensor and computes the RPM of the robot's front right wheel.
