Well done! Happy to see you’ve included the steps. Perhaps step 3 can be programming and provide the sample code?
Want to provide the wiring diagram and code for the controller too?

Hey @Big_Face,

I really liked your video :slight_smile:

How long did it take you make all of this?

Also, have you thought about putting a little bit of grease on the gears?

And, I hope you will soon solve the issue with balancing of the platform!

Looking forward to another video :slight_smile:

Thank you. I’ve been working on this for the past month or so. Plus some time for making the videos as well. I have managed to get the robot to balance, which I will show in the next video, but adding the castor makes for a much more stable platform to work with.

Thank you again for this inspiring bot - I’ve managed to get my GoPiGo3 bot, Carl, to do the data collection along the lines of your Big-Wheel-Bot. Next will be to understand your path and occupancy grid programs.

The garden robot looks well built. I see that you replaced the internal ring gear, Part 5, with a gear box. Did weeds catch in the gears? I considered a ring gear for the small tractor that I am building but am afraid of entanglements.
