This will be my first robot with a brain, unlike my first attempt at a robot which just had 4 transistors for its extremely basic operation. I'll be using an Arduino, or more specifically the generic "Really Bare Bones Board" from Modern Device, which is considerably more affordable. Some people refer to these generic boards as "Freeduino."

Hi all, new to the group. Here's my first robot project ever - "SprintBot"

I do laser engraving and cutting as a business, so the chassis of the bot was fairly straight forward for me. I found the original idea and drawings here http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-an-OAWR-Obstacle-Avoiding-Walking-Rob/?newComment=true#comments and redid them to suit my needs.
