Light Arduino Robotic Shield
@ February 15, 2009
Our shield that we designed with Eagle arrived today from batchPCB.com.
We have to test it out yet to make sure it works properly. I was just excited to show the progress. This is basically what we designed on the protoboard from our autonmous robot.

Its just a shield to plug on
Its just a shield to plug on top of the arduino for hooking up the servos, ping, etc. if you wanted to build a robot similiar to the one we built.

When we built our robot
When we built our robot LARS, we hooked everything up on a protoboard.

So with this shield we thought it would be more convient to be able to plug everything in. I wanted to know how to work with Eagle, so making this was more of a test than anything. Plus it was pretty cool to see something that started out on a breadboard, move to the protoboard and then to a finished board.
You are correct, the pins are for power, gnd and signal.
If it works out, I thought we could sell it as a kit on our blog. Before that though there are still things that will have to be worked out and tweaked.
