more pics of my robot
Just a bunch of pics for my project OPUS
Interior, minus the speakjet. You can see my add-on H-bridge, as I burned out the A/B contacts when I was trying my first robot project. You can also see the bottom of my home-made Picaxe board and it's download jack.
I had to solder and re-solder the LDR components many times before I got it right. And yes, I'm using a hanger for my helping hands. Please note the book in the background.
The download port for the IR Tracker.
The switches for the front bumper. I had initally tried a home-made deal with springs, but this worked much better.
The button
Arm close-up.
My workspace.

Good choice for body
Good choice for body material! At least you didn't use flattened sheets of the polybarf plastic.
It seems that the polybarf enthusiasts have taken the old adage to heart," For a man with a hammer, all problems look like nails!"

which polybarf?
Which poly are you talking about?
Polyvinylchloride, polymorph, polyethelene?
All of these are fantastic body-making tools and really help in the development of ideas. I for one, don't have access to a metal shop, and so the ready availability of these products means that I can get involved more easily, and at cheaper cost too.

love the bot
What are you using to make the body panels out of?
It looks like its easy to cut and shape, & I can't quite make out your book title from the picture, a tongue-in-cheek reference perhaps? or is it just holding your DIY helping hands :)
