avoid obstacles
Cost to build:

Time to build: 
8 hours

Description: 

This is my second robot!
With a better understanding of robot building and navigaton programming i´ve came up with this robot!

I think that the great improvement here was to make a plan of what i want to build, and started to find solutions before the assemble proccess. So this came out a more successfull robot!!

It´s my first real approach of avoiding obstacles and navigation programming and i´ve had a lot fun! Yet, the values that returns from the sensor fluctuate a little and i must work on it!

oh! and a BIG thanks to letsmakerobots.com :D

What is the gear ratio? It

What is the gear ratio? It has a nice speed! How much do you feed the motors?

(And how would a speaker fit on it? - IMHO it would benefit from some beepin' :)

hi! thanks!the gear ratio is

hi! thanks!

the gear ratio is 120:1, and im fedding the motors with a 7,2V 2000mAh.. 

i found that if i use a 9V for the arduino / servo,  and the 7.2V for the motors, it becomes even more fast!!!  :)

i hope this answer your question!

sweet!

 Nice build, the arduino looks tempting.

-But it looks like you need to apply some grease to the rotating axle of your back wheel, as it isn't spinning around when your robot turns. Other than that: Sweet!
