- Actuators / output devices: 2x 1:100 gear motors (12V) 1x HS-422 Servo
- Control method: auonomous
- CPU: Picaxe 28x1
- Power source: 3 AA Batteries
- Programming language: Picaxe basic
- Sensors / input devices: SRF05
- Target environment: indoor
This is my first robot with my own navigation after learning from "How to make your first robot" how everything works.
Don't mind the design of this cigar-box-robot. I put just something together for testing. Form follows function :-)
The next thing I'm trying after improving the existing navigation is that the robot is able to follow a light or my finger or something. I haven't a clue for now how I will do this, but I think somehow it will work.
My final robot should be able to get some objects with different colors and sort them. I want to use this project for my final thesis of my technician school in Germany. I have 2 years to get finished with everything. I think that should work.

Get smaller geared motors that fits.
These are better sollutions, IMHO. Getting second voltage through the board means you have to carry extra batteries, not nice. It also means hat you have to use the boards motor driver that can not handle so much power.
