Hi Cbenson,

Thank you for a reply,
I’ve got all the measurements,just didn’t all come out on the scan. I’m using the 1TB for the programing, memory for the bot & to recognize living species & see other peoples emotions & mch much much much more.If you saw on my piture in the middle under the word EDDIE, That will be a 12c network conection so it could attach on to other robots for eg. a milartary weapon.I’m using an OOpic-R because its the best I’ve seen so far & because it can connect on to other microcontrollers,do you know a better microcontroller?
Thank you
Jeremy Holzke

Thank you
I will check come single boards out, the only problem is that the computer board will most likely be to large

I got an updated design but sadly its to large (2.2 MB) to show you

Thank you
I will give it ago.

Hi Jezzza777,

Welcome to the RobotShop Forum. The Lynxmotion Tri-Track Chassis is certainly a popular and “cool looking” mobile base, but in terms of size, you would need to do quite a few measurements to know if it can fit a full-sized motherboard. Does Eddie have a “raison d’etre” (a reason for being)? A camera able to track objects is certainly useful, but takes a lot of time to program. 1TB of ram is an impressive specification, but it is very unlikely that you will ever come close to using it all unless you also plan to use the robot as a regular computer as well (which is also appealing). Why use the OOpic-R? We look forward to hearing more abut your plans and ideas.

Sincerely,

Hi Jezzza,

Your project looks a bit like Wall-e and is very promising!. It seems that you will need to use a single board computer in order to do that much programming (lots vision algorithms). Also, you might want to use stereo vision for navigation and improved image and pattern recognition.

Using a single board computer such as the Genesi Efika MX and USB peripherals would be the best way to proceed since you will have lots of expandability thanks to a wide variety of off-the-shelf components available. Phidgets sensors, interfaces and controllers could work readily with the computer. Also, communicating with other computers is simplified by the readily available file sharing and networking programs.

You might want to compress the image using a software such as Picasa
