TYVM LMR for the great Instructions and content. I am looking forward to my next project =)

First step into robotics with Fristsl PICAXE bot. Basic chassis complete (tamiya track & wheel set/universal plates/dual motor gear box, Sharp IR, PICAxe28X1, a servo).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had to redesign when I had everything ready to assemble. Hopin for the cute WALL-E style, but cheesed out in the end.

Oh yeah, Smokes, RedBull, and a soldering iron =) doesn't get much better.

WALL-E design

The battery pack is a great idea. I will look at my local shop to see if they have it.

 

~BTW, upon review, i believe my choice of MC Crhis -Fetts Vette may not have been appropriate for younger audience members. I will rework the vid with something else this evening. Sorry if anyone was offended.
