This is not the first robot I made but the first one I was successful with programming in RobotC.
The second video I used the sample program's and blutooth with a gaming control to control the robot. It dies by low battery at the end of the video.
You can download the C file that is like a sample from me to you.

Starting from scratch
This robot has brougth me alot of fun but now I'm probably going to mak a "drum robot" that follows the controllers buttons.
You can take any ideas you got from here without asking for it, you dont have to leave credit.

Why is the bumper in front of the sonar?

It might look like that
It might look like that but i tested it with RobotC firmware and a ruler and it worked perfectly. Its accually a hole in the bumper.

Sonar
Why did you mount the sonar in the vertical axis rather than horizontal?

Because
Because it was hard to make it horizontal so i choosed to make it vertical, plus I have seen some difference when testing the sonar on thin stuffs like a chair's leg.
