Introduction

The purpose of this task is to successfully land and control a rover on the surface of Pluto using two Telerobotics principles (visual feedback and data compression). Tech stack for this mission is ReactJS along with node-sass for light control room styling.

Disclaimer

While the code here is functional, myself, Facebook or ReactJS are not responsible for any lost or broken rovers. Please fly space missions responsibly, using multi-threaded and compiled languages.

Features

• The New Horizon Rover (here-on "NHR") will always land at 0 0 N
• NHR can receive and execute four commands: -- F = move forward; -- B = move backward; -- L = turn left 90º; -- R = turn right 90º;
• NHR can be controlled both by on-screen buttons as well as their respective keyboard buttons;
• All commands sent are logged in the Command Log;
• NHR will hold position when faced with an obstacle;
• NHR will send warning message when holding position due to obstacle.
