What does it do?
Navigate around via ultrasound avoiding obstacles
Well, finally I've started to assemble my first go at building an autonomous bot, nothing fancy, nothing original just something to learn the ropes. I'm going for a 2WD design that to me seems to be quite ubiquitous.
As of the moment (May, 17th 2012) basically I've only glued together a couple of DVDs (following generalgeek's sugestion) to use as base, and then also hot-glued a couple of DC motors and a 3rd non-motor wheel to it.
Component-wise I'm only waiting for a couple of transistors to build an H-bridge (as sugested on a Dan M's post).
