IR controlled Robot
This is my first robot and I am quite pleased with it. I use a standard remote to control
forward, backward, left, right, and stop. I put together the simple circuit on a small bored
and put the IR receiver on the other side. I plan to add more features which I can control
with the IR remote. I want white leds for headlights and red for tail lights. An srf05 range sensor on
a servo would allow me to push a button and put the bot into roam mode where it could go off
on its own. I want to add voice more than anything. I was thinking of getting the mp3 player
and recording phrases from my macs voice generator. I could then have it say things like
the date and temperature. Besides movement I feel like voice is the big life giver to robots.
After I have all my concepts down I plan to put it into a bigger frame and have it casually
roam around the house, maybe solar panels for when it roams outside. Tell me what you
think! Thanks!

This is cool!!You have not
This is cool!!
You have not fileld out the "aditional information" when submitting the robot, but on the picture I can see that you are using my fovorite; Picaxe 28 board :D
There is no problem with you using a secondary circuit for the IR - but just for the record; The 28-board has that build in; You just have to add the IR sensor and a few other resistors etc.
I totally agree that voice is paramount. And so I wnt on and tested the "Soundgin" chip. And I just write this to warn you - this chip and it´s documentation is a mess. Nobody can firure out to really use it, and there is no suppert. Many, many errors in documentation, do not go for it!
I have never done a robot with voice - I'd love to. Just as you say; read out temperature, or "There is 23 inches from me to you" that kind of usefull but funny stuff :)
"Please step aside" :D
Congrats on your first robot!! Well done!

Rematch, REMATCH !Fantastic
Rematch, REMATCH !
Fantastic job on your first robot. I like the big bolts on the canopy (metal?) . Great video too, what did you use to do the captioning? I use Linux mostly, but have not found a free video captioning program yet. So voice next, thats a great idea. Do you thing you'd be interested in this project -> Jabo ?

Rematch when I give the bot a weapon!
Yeah Frits we need to find a good way to let our bots communicate
with voice. I'll see what I can find.
GroG, I used imovie on my mac to produce the video, my first
one too which shows how easy macs are to use. The jabo
project sounds excellent but what is a good way for
the rest of us to interface our bots to the net?
I use Window's movie maker
