Cost to build:
$200
Weight:
640 grams
- Actuators / output devices: 2 modified servos
- CPU: ooPic R
- Sensors / input devices: SRF04, GP2D12
- Target environment: indoor
This is propably fourth or fitfh evolution version of my first finished and working robot ever built.
It has Oopic-R controller as brains, 2 cont.rot. modified servos as drive system, 2 SRF04 sonars as obstacle detectors and 1 GP2D12 Ir-sensor to see edges of tables and such. And also lcd-display to help debugging.
It serves as generic testing platform for new hardware and new algorithm ideas. Nowdays i'm more of a arduino-fan but oopic is also nice board.

Video soon, hopefully
I'll try to get video soon uploaded. I was just inspecting the bot and noted that one of the sonar wires ripped off :( (bad soldering).
Got to fix that one first.
Edit: Video added!

It looks more or less like Lexan/Polycarbonate, because of that bent piece of whatever that is that is attached to the sharp IR sensor. I suppose it could be plexiglass though. Do you have any experience with lexan though?

It is acrylic, got it from local hardware-store here in finland.
Bottom one is 4mm thick and top plate is 2mm.
