This is the ratb0t, he has a nervous behavior and remainds me a rat.. :]
I´m using an Arduino Diecimila to control the steering servo and the traction motor.
The XBee module recieves data from another Arduino, this one has a wii nunchuck controller attached.
Next Step: make it autonomous
Update: 31 Jan 09
I´ve added two ultra sound sensors and now I´m trying to make this bot a wall racer. Due to its drifting capabilities its being very hard to code this, but I will find a way.
I´ve replaced the 4 AA batteries by a small 7.2V battery and now he has more power wich also means more nerves.. :D
…
So, after a couple of hours of trying and trying, I quit, and decided to relax and enjoy some drifts.. :]

That's one of the coolest
That's one of the coolest moving robots on this site. Love the headlight. Considering the origins of the drive motor, thats one rat you don't want running up your leg!
Nice video editing too :)
