Description:
Hi guys I have noticed the need here of an arduino start here robot. Therefore I present to you Bob V.2 from the instructables website!!! For those asking why not just post it I will not for fear of others thinking that I wrote it
Here is the link:
Robot?
Ya know, it might be nice, civil, even down right human to simply post your robot without taking pot shots at anothers work.
And to actually post it rather than link it.
Well I don't want people to
Well I don't want people to think that It's my work for it is not I simply just found it. Also I can take the "pot shots" off just for you but I wasn't trying to completely diss his bot I was just questioning its purpose. Anywho... But yeah I will take that of but what did you think of the bot?
So all you saw was the "pot shots" and not the _-No Offence Guibot-_ banner? btw its taken down along with the rest of it so you won't see it anymore.
Decently put together, perhaps expensive
It seems like it is well programmed, and functions as intended.
It's probably a bit expensive for a beginner robot, since low cost has been a goal for first robots. Perhaps using 1 or 2 sensors instead of 4 and making a mount rather than buying one wopuld help. And making a frame.
But all this discussion is somewhat pointless, since the original maker isn't here to offer feedback.
Regarding the"seeing" of pot shots vs "not seeing" the no offense banner, I saw both and stating "no offense" while being offensive does not negate what was done. Kind of like poking some one in the eye, then saying you didn't mean to doesn't make their eye feel any better. The best thing is to not offend in the first place. Post constructive criticism, like "perhaps you could try adding this sensor" or "it would look cool if it could back away from sensed obstacles".
Well regardless it has been
