Common ground

Not really… it uses two motors to “roll”

what is the third connection for?? (on the battery holder i.e. the blue wire)

can this robo walk…???

wow!!! it’s very easy to a mini robo… thanks

There are links to all the products in the description.

Can sum1 pls help me with where nd hw 2 gt the parts

Sure, but you’ll need a few additional parts since the L298 is controlled via 2x PWM and 2x digital pins) - usually this is done via a motor controller.

can i use L293 motor driver?

i have not tried it but i think it’s way cool

wow… Itz lukin gr8 foh beginnerz like me… Cant wait to make it bt the stuff needed is quite difficult… Like spdt can we spot it frm computr mice n where can i get motors n we cant get where the heat shrink used… Tq

it looks very easy
!!

This is a very nice robot i have a science experement and i want to make a robot i now have a robot it is very cool i am making it right now its going very well so excited

It uses the two motors to roll around, and when one of the sensors is pressed, that motor stopped, causing it to turn.

what is the beetle robot suppose to do

very exilent robots

good one for biginers.explain a bit about programming of robots as per required

There are no “requirements” - many builders learn by doing and not necessarily through formal education. Don’t be scared to start.

It does not actually “identify” obstacles - when it contacts an object, the current is cut to that motor, causing the robot to turn.

Is there any particular information you are looking for? The Robotics field covers a LOT of topics, so we need to pick and choose the topics we find are of greatest use and interest to the most people.
