I need an expert help

hi how are u?

i am a beginner and i wanted to start building robot i saw the start here version and wanted to build it but then i saw how to build your first robot version 2 and it was faster but the point that it is has no description like the other i want your help with that and i want to know what experiance will i learn from making robots also my last question is how to control my robot with a remot control ?

witout changing the programming i want it to move alone too

BTW he his talking about

As far as building it, I

As far as building it, I quote from the part 2 link:

"First, let’s make the robot on the picture above. Try to duplicate the main parts, that is the main task here.

It shuld not need much explantion, it is excaxtly like the one from How to build your first robot - only differences:

  • Instead of Sharp sensor, I use SRF05
  • The servo is a smaller one, and a fast one - you can get these in any size and speed
  • The gearing on the motors is lower, so I have a faster robot (though it is not a speed-king, lol)
  • instead of just taping it all together, I have used 3 sticks to form some sort of a "chassis"

The closer you get to this, the easier it will be to follow the rest, but of course you can just do it your way, with whatever parts you have etc."

So you need to make the Start Here Robot with the modifications listed by frits. If by “it’s faster” you mean he says it can be done in 45 minutes, try not to consider that so heavily. This was not his first robot. The more you build the easier it gets. I challenge anyone to build their first robot that fast.

There are several ways to remotely control a robot but the easiest is probably with infrared communications, like your TV remote. Not hard but explaining it here would not really be productive at this stage. Just know it isn’t that difficult once you’ve gotten a robot moving and doing what it’s supposed to do.

What you will gain from building robots is hard to say. Success brings satisfaction. Knowledge gained is usually a given. Perhaps the best part is you’ll have cool gadgets to show off here at LMR :slight_smile:

so i should first build the

so i should first build the first one from how to build your first robot  and after gainig experiance from my first robot  i try to build the other and i didnt mean faster in building i meant faster in its perfomance the servo and the ultrasonic sensor


Go with what you are comfortable with

Building your first robot should be a educational process but unlike the educational system, there are no burdens here. There is no homework you have to do, no exams for which you have to sit and no deadline you have to meet. This is your hobby and you can do it any way you want to do it. You might take 2 years to build your first robot but if at the end of that duration, you see that you’ve done a fine job and you’ve enjoyed every moment, then that is better than success.

Now a note direct reply in your question, you can chose any motors, servos and sensors you like. You want your bot to win formula 1, you can even use a huge motor. As I said, this is your project. Look at the materials available to you, the finances you have and the time you can spend and then decide on what parts you use. Both ultrasonic and infrared work well. You can make your own sensors if you like and want to have in depth, knowledge. You can use motors of any gear ratio that suits you or not use one at all and use continuous rotation servos. You can add infrared or bluetooth or xbee module on your bot to control it wirelessly but code has to be modified for all these. And please try to learn a programming language. You just can’t run to your friend for each and every minor change you want to make in your bot. Also, even though your bot after complete development might revolutionize the way bots are made on earth, but while making it, take small steps to make it. For instance, the moment you get your delivery of the first parts, don’t get into a hurry to complete the project the same night. Set some time apart for it, preferably leisure time, and “play” with the parts you have. Try to see what you can do with your motor that fritsl hasn’t been kind enough to mention in his post. This will not only clear your concepts but may be useful later on when you make a bot yourself.

do you know how can i learn

do you know how can i learn programming languages? 

i am interested in your i dea

You seem to be interested in
You seem to be interested in picaxe and I’m an arduino guy so I can’t help you a lot but I think that when they say that pbasic is very well documented, they don’t do so without a reason. I’ve seen people from the picaxe side find solution to their worries just by reading the 3 manuals. Those manuals may be the best place for you to start. Maybe you can skim through the manuals and make a note of where you can find a particular topic and read the whole thing later. That’s upto you. Search the net, there has got to be documents on basic and pbasic. I’ve found documents on arduino development language and picaxe is supposed to be better in documentation. Also try some basic code and languages like basic. One important thing in programming is to know what the concept is and to know what tools the language that you are using gives you to tackle that concept. This way, no matter what language you learn, you can always translate out to something you already know and simplify it. If you ever switch to arduino, the language you need to know is called Arduino Development language which is a derivative of wiring language which comes from C or C++. While pbasic is easier to understand, write in and a must read for anyone making their first robot without programing knowledge, C is also very well documented, easier to debug and more structured. I definitely won’t suggest you C though. It takes even the best programmers some time to get a hang of C and while arduino is a nice board, you will never be disappointed by picaxe.
