I don't think so, but the goal is to let the truck follow a line that it can
follow (turns that are wide enough and so on) and take up the tires it
encounters. At the end of the line it should sound a beep to request the
emptying of its contianer (the switch to do this should be turned on
manually). i don't have the line yet, so for now on, I'm using the test
pad.

What was it?
