Modified RC obstacle avoidance Car

Very new to this site. Been playing with this project on and off for 6 months. Completed once then went back to and it wasn't working. Tried to troubleshoot and burnt out the chip. Pulled out the whole circuit board. Then rewired the battery pack. At that point it is just the frame DC motors on front and back(front geared to turn right and left, back left as dc motor for fowards and back) . I pulled an H bridge chip from a motor drive expansion board and breadboarded it .

Control DC motors with a Grove H-Bridge and DynamixShield

I just uploaded a new video tutorial on how to use the Grove dual H-Bridge module with the DynamixShield and an Arduino Due to control DC motors.

Autonomous Racers!!!

Race each other around the room

Hello everyone, I’ve posted a lot on LMR, and I build robots for a living, but this is the first time I’ve built a personal robot that I’m able to tell you all about. First off, I got this idea from Fritsl (http://letsmakerobots.com/node/928 ) and I decided I wanted to build a pair of wall racers for my nephew who has always asked me to build him some robots. If you’ve never heard of a wall racer it is a modified RC car with two sonars, one pointing forward the other pointing to one side.
