The Tank

Primary image

What does it do?

Avoid obstacles

This is the tank. One day, perhaps it'll earn itself a real name.

Being my first robot, it is of course a skid-steering obstacle avoider. Since I already had an Arduino and wanted to continue with it, I didn't follow the Start Here robot, but instead pretty much copied LarryBot. It is made of: a Tamiya 70097 twin-motor gearbox, a Tamiya 70100 track and wheel set, an Arduino Uno and an SN754410 H-bridge chip.

SpiDuino

Primary image

What does it do?

Navigates via Ultrasound, annoys the dogs

"SpiDuino" because of course it's Arduino for brains, and if you watch the end of the video it tries to climb up the wall.  Gets about to 90 degrees, too.  This is a variation on the "Start Here" robot that this site is famous for.  Essentially I wanted to test the base and the SN754410, which I was having trouble with and noted in this node.  Obviously I got it going, but special thanks to ChrisTheCarpenter and Kyle (birdmun) for their guidance.
