Minecraft Creeper

What does it do?

Obstacles avoidance via infrared sensor

Hello,

Greetings from Hong Kong.

This is my first Arduino project. I have worked with the handyboard and NXT few years ago. The Arduino seems popular and easy to get into for people from non-electronic background like me, so I decided to build something simple to get myself familiarize with the Arduino board and interfaces. For the look I decided to make it the Minecraft Creeper, for the non-gamers, it's a iconic mob that appears in the 8-bit inspired 3D game Minecraft. If you havent try it before, grab a copy now!

Simple Simon

Primary image

What does it do?

Obstacle avoidance, education

I built this super basic robot as a start-here style bot for a presentation I'm doing in a few weeks. I wanted something I could demonstrate building in realtime to a group of boyscouts. Simon is built with an arduino, dfrobot protoshield, breadboard, 2 parallax continuous rotation servos, 2 solarbotics wheels, a caster and a digital ir sensor. The whole thing is built with double sided tape (fritz start-here bot style). I should be able to demonstrate assembling him and uploading his program in about 15 minutes during my presentation.

Arduino version of LMR "Start Here"

Primary image

What does it do?

Navigate around via infrared distance sensor

This is another attempt to build a "Start Here" clone. The photo is a prototype built with a reused mechanical & electrical platform.

I prefer Arduino for the brains because is open-source. Here I use an Arduino Nano for his small footprint but any other board can be used.
