What does it do?

navigate around with IR and avoid stuff

This is igor, my first robot. His brains are a Make controller, a SAM7-based microcontroller which I gotta say was NOT the cheapest but for the most part is a joy to program. The chassis is an octobot chassis from budget robotics, with an extra deck which is not attached in the photo..

Anyway, I just put him mostly together tonight, and wrote a real quick app to test the IR rangefinders. I'm not really sure what his mission in life should be yet, but for now I'm just gonna try to make him able to roam around and avoid stuff.
