// The following code will control a robotic car
// by detetecting an object and charging towards it
// it uses basic functions as:
//
// charge(speed)        
//                      -   used to charge on an object detected 
//                          the robot will move in a straight line
//                          until it detects the arena line where
//                          it will use reverse() to move back
//
// detect_object(range, speed)
//                      -   used to detect an object, the robot will
//                          move in a circle to find an object and 
//                          return 1 if it finds something and return
//                          0 if it does not find anything - the search
//                          will be carried out for 10 seconds.
//
// detect_line ()       
//                      -   used to detect a line, it returns the following
//                          an int value as follows:
//                          0  - if no line is detected
//                          1  - if line detected from the front
//                          -1 - if line detected from the back
//
// reverse(speed)       
//                      -   reverses the robot with chargespeed in same position

// reverseandturn(speed)     
//                      -   reverses whie moving in a circular direction
//
