Navigate, Climb up and down stairs
- Control method: PS2 wireless Controller
- CPU: Arduino Decimila
- Power source: 22.4V for motors, 11.1V for Electronic
- Target environment: outdoor, indoor
This is my first robot for climbing stairs. The design is based on Packbot. Finally, I hope I can complete a robot like the Packbot.
For more information, please see my facebook.

For building the tank's tracks. I used the tracks from 'Heng Long M26'

As the friction of the traks is not enough to hold the robot, I drill holes ( each 2mm) on the tracks. Cut carpet(backward side) into many segments, cut CAT5 LAN cable into segments, mount the segments on the tracks.

Really Impressive
That is really very impressive. I especially like the way it uses the leading tracks to help it get into the climbing position with the main tracks. I have never seen anything quite like that. Very creative.
