How to make Robot Wall Racers

fritsl — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:23:43 +0200

Here is a link to the first / original Robot Wall Racers - and the walkthrough on this page shows how to make something like them.

I will keep it open, so you will be able to add plenty more yourself, or make your own version :)

As always, I recomend you to start with the the "Start here"-project, if this is your first robot!

I made this with Picaxe, but it is all simple, and the code is well documented, so any Microprocesser should do - please read more below, in the shopping-list.

How to build your first robot - Part III - Get a grip!

This is part III of a series I call “How to build your first robot”.

This part is not so much instructions of how to build & program, that was in Part I-II.

To finalize Part I-II, I will just say; I may put “construction time” to a few hours when entering a robot. And it is possible to make a robot in 10 minutes if you have the materials in front of you.
