My first SHR robot

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

This is my first robot...a simple SHR. I connected a 7 segments LED mounted on a small breadboard. the LED display "G" when its going forward and "S" when it stops ans starts looking for another way. i actually didn't have a certain shape.....so i kinda improvised..:)

btw....the vids maybe not that clear...i took it with my ipad2

It looks like it REALLY

It looks like it REALLY wants to drive off that table.

Nice addition with the 7 segment, gives it a nice personal touch!

The eyes
When your robot looks around, it turns left and right before making a decision. How do you do that? Really good robot by the way, I can’t see any wires hanging out or anything.

That’s pretty much standard

That’s pretty much standard ‘start here’ robot code. Take a look at the top menu of the site where it says, ‘Start Here’.

I like the 7-segment

I like the 7-segment display. Neat idea. You can probably have some fun with that.

The videos are nice and clear, but it is weird seeing a wide-screen format flipped on its end!

Thanks, ignoblegnome is
Thanks, ignoblegnome is right…it’s an SHR code…just added the 7 segment code to it.
But the weird thing the dangerlevel number in the code gets bigger when my hand gets closer to the Sharp IR, so I changed that.

Ya I know it is weird, am still tryin to figure out why :stuck_out_tongue:

**Ah. **
Oh, ok. Thanks. I’ll take another look.

Ok, so…
That’s just a basic code but changed a bit to make it how you like?
