Here is my firs unfinished bot project, I new in electronics so I'm reading about it on Internet and also I have book "Electronics For Dummies" for basics.So my ideas can be really wrong and I would be very happy if someone will correct me.

So what do I have:

Really god RC car and I use it for my base, it includes:

• Really powerful  DC motor.
• Big Wheels.
• Power supply (6V 600 mAh and charger).
• Servo for front wheels.
• Big bumper for protection.

Brains and sensors:

I have arduino Duemilanove clone for my brains.

Sharp IR sensor.

2 x TSOP and IR diodes.

2x 9g micro servo.

Temperature sensors

some photo diodes.

Power:

I have

3 x Li-Po   7.2V 900 mAh  (Two cells) battery.

Ni-Cd 600 mAh 6v battery from RC car with charger.

Li-po cels balancer.
