What does it do?

Follows FSHPC (Fritz' Start Here Posted Code), assists in product placement

UPDATE: This project is closed. I'm using the (working) parts for a new bot. But I had a battery question (below).

..................................................

So, I created my own first robot following the Start Here instructions. I was only able to get one picture:

What does it do?

Navigates around via ultrasound

This is my bot, Godzilla. No, it is not huge and it does not pick up buses and throw them back down. I just called him Godzilla because i love the song by Blue Oyster Cult!
Anyways, back to the bot: It does not do much now since i haven't mounted my 180 servo yet, the one you see in the pictures is just a continuous one i have used to give myself and you an idea of how it is gonna be. It goes aroung with its ultrasonic sensor avoiding objects it finds on its way.

What does it do?

simple navigation by proximity check using a sonar

The 2 images below was my first attempt at a robot using fritsl's guide. After my first attempt i felt ashamed of how flimsy and goofy the robot looked.

So I broke it apart and re-did it!

PhilBot (Aspiring Phil Collins Robot)

What does it do?

Drives around and finds something to drum on, while avoiding walls.

After seeing so many great drumming robots on LMR, I figured it was time for me to build one of my very own. I have never built a robot, or done anything quite like this, so this will be a learning process. I bought an Arduino a month or so back after reading about it constantly in my favorite magazine, MAKE. With a little help from TheCowGod, who also used the Arduino in his drumming robot, I have put together the start of PhilBot.
