This isn't my first robot, but it is the first one I'm posting on here. After reading through Tobi , I figured I should put this one on here. I really wish I had taken more pictures of the development process. The wife is sorting through the 236 pictures I have of it on my old phone right now. Yes, that is 236, not a typo. Some I can't post here because of the location I was taking them at, and still have standing non-disclosure agreements with that company.
No there are no typos in the cost, and time ... this is a STILL ongoing project, because someone said I couldn't do it EXACTLY how I was explaining. This has taken over 5 years, off and on, and switching things around a lot.
I'm going to be switching the controller again to the Parallax Propeller (8 processors can't be beat)
I'm mainly learning how to post on here, and I will DRASTICALLY clean this up soon
