Code Documentation
No code was provided for the microcontrollers in the circuit. If code is available, it should be documented here with explanations for initialization, main loop, function definitions, and any interrupt service routines. The code would typically include setup for the pins, control logic for the motors and servo, reading sensor data, and handling user input from the pushbutton.
