Overall we feel that we have achieved most of the functionality of our original design. The tank was able to drive around, take distance measurements, and shoot discs at a target. In addition a perfect concept program was developed to show how the infrared sensor at the front of the tank would have functioned if not for the interference. The speed of the processor was never an issue in our design. However, it would have more convenient to have more interrupt lines and pins available to use. This could have simplified some of the hardware and software that was developed.

Given more time on the project, many more of the problems that we were faced with could have been solved. The inductance problem could have been solved by using separate wires for the different signals, and wire that was intended to be ran at longer lengths. The lack of pins could have taken a decent amount of time to solve, but we could have been able to share pins by using external flip-flops on our circuit board.
