Title
ZigBee Reconfigurable Motor Control System for Robot Design Competitions

Abstract
Robot competitions is a fantastic way to teach engineering design. A major challenge in running such a class is finding a set of motors, batteries, and control system that could work together. The WiZARD is designed to solve this problem by accepting a wide range of batteries (11 to 30V) to drive a wide range of motors (2 to 10V) via a robust ZigBee link. The output level stays constant regardless of battery voltage. Hardware include driver PCB, joystick controller, & ZigBee-USB config tool.
