Buglet - bugbot

Let's Make Robots Robots

Here's my beetlebot which i call Buglet.
I got lots of pics but sorry, they aren't in right angle.

First i took parts from my box.
Then i went to cut a motor holder from plexiglass.
I cutted and bended it to right angle.
Then i attached motors and switches and battery holder to it.
And next i soldered wires and it is READY!
But later i put antennas to switches.

Avoid obstacles

  • Actuators / output devices: 2 dc motors
  • Control method: autonomous
  • Power source: 2 AA-cells
  • Sensors / input devices: 2x SPDT switches
  • Target environment: indoor, flat surfaces

Incredibly simple, yet you

Incredibly simple, yet you have managed to get good behavior through the mechanical design. Nice work.

I think I understand how you wired it, but in the top picture I see a couple of transitors and maybe a pair of capacitors. Did you use them or omit them? Could you post a schematic diagram?

Ya I noticed the transistors
Ya I noticed the transistors but I think the other things are two LDRs

Oh
There isn’t any transistors or caps. I draw circuit diagram.

Nice!

Kewl bot! Ima gonna sumthing like this, too. Can’t start too really in BEAM robotics.

Økāy, hard to get that
Økāy, hard to get that comment :DDD

Nice! [Edit]

Kewl bot! Ima gonna build something like this, too…soon. Okay, my schedule is a bit sludgy… but i might be able to make time for this in the early hours of the morning, since i’m schooling in the afternoon. Can’t start too early in BEAM robotics! :slight_smile:

cheers!

hahaha! this is awesome! i like it! very fast! you could maybe use use those transistors and ldrs for a half beetlebot half light follower!

Maybe later :slight_smile:
