This is my very first line following robot that is built around ATMEGA8. Construction and circuit are quite simple. Such a name- GOOFY is given because robot movements are somewhat clumsy. But hey! Its still working and doing his job very well! :)


There is two geared DC motors that are controlled using PWM. Tyres are the ones that are used in RC cars. Besides-these have a nifty looking.
You may ask "Whats that tho pieces of metall on screws in front of robot? ". The thing is that batteries behind robot is a bit weighty so it lift the front with sensors (which means that sensors can not sense the line :( ). As a solution I added two screws and some parts from an old equipment in front of a base plate. Hahaaa- it works! :D
Everything started with this:

Here is a circuit if You're interested:

Hope You like it! :)

awesome robot you got there!
nice
also: the geared motors... where did you get them?

These motors come from ELFA
These motors come from ELFA store in Latvia. http://www.elfa.lv/artnr/54-495-09/dc-motor-with-gear
You can search for similar on Ebay or other e-shops. ;)

There is 4 IR sensors in the robot. ;)

Would you consider
Getting it an micro processor, and making it solve a maze?

good job! how many IR
good job!
how many IR sensors in the line follower?

Thanks!
thanks for ur help but the file has got an extension .lay i just want to know which software supports it....

I wanna make it!
plzz send me the circuit diagram on my mail as soon as possible, I am eager to make it my mail id is nileshhaldipur@gmail.com
