1. Arduino Uno

• Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It serves as the brain of the system, managing inputs from the joysticks, activating the motor for shooting, controlling LEDs for visual feedback, and producing sound effects through the buzzer or speaker.

2. Analog Joysticks

• Description: Two analog joysticks are used to control the movement of the tanks. Each joystick has two axes (X and Y) that send analog signals to the Arduino to move the tank forward, backward, left, or right.

3. DC Motor

• Description: A small motor used to launch the cardboard projectiles. It is triggered by a button press and provides the mechanical force necessary to propel the projectiles at a safe but effective distance.

4. Push Buttons

• Description: Buttons used to trigger various game functions, such as shooting the projectile. When pressed, they send a signal to the Arduino to activate the motor for projectile launch.

5. LEDs

• Description: Light-emitting diodes used for visual feedback on the dashboard. They indicate various game statuses such as shooting readiness, tank movement, and other game events. They help enhance the user experience.

6. Resistors

• Description: Electrical components used to limit the current flowing through circuits, particularly with LEDs and other components, to prevent them from burning out.

7. Buzzer/Speaker

• Description: A buzzer or small speaker is used for sound effects, such as the sound of shooting or explosions, adding an auditory element to the game and enhancing the gaming experience.

8. Wires and Connectors

• Description: Wires and connectors establish electrical connections between all components, allowing signals to flow from the joysticks to the Arduino, from the Arduino to the motor, and powering the LEDs and buzzer.

9. Cardboard

• Description: Used to create the lightweight projectiles fired from the tank, as well as part of the tank structure. The material is chosen for being safe and easy to handle during the game.

10. Plastic (Lightweight)

• Description: Plastic is used for making the tank’s shooting mechanism and other parts that need to be sturdy but lightweight. It ensures the tank remains durable while being easy to manipulate.

11. Wood (Optional)

• Description: Wood may be used to reinforce the structure, especially for the dashboard base or tank stands. It adds stability and helps in securing all components in place.

12. Screws, Nuts, and Glue

• Description: These components are used for assembling and securing the physical parts of the tank and dashboard, ensuring everything stays in place and functions properly.

These components work together to create the interactive tank game, allowing players to control their tanks, fire projectiles, and enjoy visual and audio feedback while playing.
