OSR(Open Source Robot)
@ December 8, 2009
Cost to build:
$500
- Actuators / output devices: 2 continuous rotation servos
- Control method: Voice(hopefully), (will be)controlled by android phone via bluetooth
- CPU: ATmega1280
- Power source: LiquidWare's HiCap Lithium Backpack
- Programming language: arduino language based on C/C++
- Target environment: indoors mainly
OSR is a major work in progress, It is controlled by the arduino Mega, OSR will has bluetooth capability, so i can control it from my verizon droid eris(android phone), it has an RFID reader and a ping)) rangefinder, and i am still testing, debugging, and adding code.
this looks promising

Good idea
I never thought of the landmark think like that. I use similar design with my bots. Nothing lake a big breadboard for easy expermentation. I was thinking of using IR beacons but that would use batterys. Parallax now has an inexpensive color sensor out now. Mabe in the future I may play with that idea.

Nice to see your robot in
Nice to see your robot in action. Good progress, keep it up!
Try adding a roller or caster wheel at the back to avoid tipping. If it will operate mostly on hard surfaces, something like the one pictured below from DAGU might work:
