He just avoids objects right now.
Right now he just has 1 servo, 2 geared G3 motors with tracks, and the Picaxe 28x1 vA.5 firmware.
I have added the code which I modified from the start here robot and the how to on the SRF005 node.
He first started to twitch his servo because of the pulsout command for the SRF005 sensor. I added a pause to his pulses and now the twitching is minimal. This is because even though it is on separate pins there is still a pin on the Picaxe 28x1 assembly that is giving the servo a pulse also causing it to move. Adding a pause of 10 milliseconds before and after the pulse helps this as you will see in the video. :)
If you make a start here robot with the SRF005 or any other pulsout sensors (Sonic sensors) feel free to use the code attached to this bot. :)
I am in the background on this one lol... :P
Cold beer here! W00T!
I do thank everyone who has helped me with questions and Fritl for starting all of this mess. lol :P
Update: 1/28/2009 Video added and updated code. Servo added and object scanning mode added. Pictures below.
Update: Feb 27 2009
He is complete since I am going to change to the serializer .NET :D

Cool Jasper
Great work, the ultrasonics seem to work well for you, whats the next step for the robot?
I need to build a play pen like yours for my robot.

very nice! I speccially like the scanning part, it adds personality to the bot..
I must think in something similar to one of my bots :)
5* for giving me the inspiration ;)

Solarbotics actually
They are described here at /node/145
A bit pricey though.

great post, i'll try the
great post, i'll try the code, (struggling with this!)
i've built a similar bot, with the picaxe 28x1, srf005 ultrasonic. ace fun.
thanks
