This is Guilbot, he is my first robot. He uses an arduino, a ping sensor, one servo and two motors provided with the chasis which used to be an RC tank. Currently im using a 7.2v nicad battery.

Nice tank base!
It looks like the turret has a gizmo in it for shooting plastic balls. You could rig it up on top with a servo pan/tilt mechanism and put it in the olympic games competition

what a great idea Luckily i saved the top half of the tank, it has pan and tilt already built in, and an electronic trigger to fire the rounds.

**i used **
I sued an l293d and used this guide: https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/2074
was really simple to set up with that guide, i would have struggled otherwise.
