The Handy Car was created by faculty and students of the Computer Science Department at Plattsburgh State University.  The design is intended to be a easy to build mobile robot for use in a wide variety of computer science courses.  The Handy Car design is centered around the Handy Board, developed by Fred Martin a former professor at MIT.  The design is simplified by use of a quality remote controlled (R/C) car base, and many off-the-shelf parts obtainable at local hardware stores.
