Basic Robot.

Let's Make Robots Robots

This is a basic robot I made, it is very similar to the one that it is shown in the "Start Here" tutorial. I haven't written the code already, I will do it in the next days. My next project will be making an Arduino shield by my own. I already have the atmega328.

Good start!

I would suggest that you consider swapping out the 9v battery for 3 or 4 AA batteries. The 9v can only offer about 700mAh vs 2000+ mAh for the AA batteries. All this boils down to the fact that with a 9v battery your robot will not run very long.
