A nice, simple base running on good ol' Fritz code

Well folks,

Here's another entry based on Fritz's great code. One goal I had was to not have anything soldered directly to the main board. Instead I installed another board for hard connections and to allow me to expand in the future. I am thinking of this as a great, solid test bed for additional sensors and experimenting with code.

Yeah that video does suck!

Hey Krum,

You know, I really didn't watch it after I uploaded to youtube... Man was it choppy! I think it was shot at 15 frames a sec then compressed twice -once coming out of iMovie and youtube compressed it again! I am re-zjinking it now!

--Thanks man

Very nice!!!! I like how you

Very nice!!!! I like how you mounted everything with the thought of expansion and updating!

Very nice work and I have a question

Do you build you own "L" brackets for the front spockets?

Thanks,

-Pandit

I did indeed make them, sir...

Yup,

But really they are just some angle iron... I used 1x1x1/16" aluminum angle. There is a little hardware store here on Cape Cod that has a pretty nice rackof different aluminum pieces -Square tube, round tube, angles and barstock, it is wicked expencive bu when you only need a little it is worth it. It drills like a dream and you can cut it with a regular chop saw (safety glasses!!)

i need it for my new robot

HELPME!!!!!!!
