Nearly a month since my last (and first) post, I thought I'd post again to show that I haven't disappeared completely.

Recently, I've been trying to get my electronics up to speed.  So I've been following the excellent, extensive documents at http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/ - if you export them as PDFs they make a great substitute for books.

I thought I'd wait until I'd made my first robot before making my first post.  As you can see below, it's a complete rip-off of the (excellent!) first robot tutorial.  The differences are that I had to tweak the code to make him move forward/left/right properly, and also that mine is a bit more hairy due to an abundance of wires :-)  Not the sleekest of robots, but he'll be cannibalised pretty soon.
