Dollar store bot!

Not much to see here but he was cheap and fun to build!

This guy started life as a dollar store Erector Set knockoff:

Only $5 !   He's powered by a couple of regular servos modified for continuous rotation plus another to sweep the ultrasound sensor, an Arduino Uno and some duct tape.

Nothing spectacular but a fun lil' tracked bot.

Nice find

Makes me want to go root around in some of the local dollar stores around here. Good stuff.

Nice robot

Hi,

Nice robot, built one too with meccano clones : https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/34256

Bought the tracked kit like yours in mauritius, but hard to use because i dont have gears that fit in the metal bar supporting the wheels (im trying with dc motors).

Can you upload a picture of the metal chassis without MCU ?
