Robot-explorer without brains (almost) :D

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

This is a "one day" project- simple robot with two whiskers, who can avoid obstacles. This one is built around motor driver IC L293D, and some transistors and capacitors. Wheels are custom made (laser cutted) with a rubber glued on it. Also two modified TowerPro MG995 servos with removed electronics. Construction is as simple as it can be. Most parts are glued with hot melted glue.

 

Avoiding obstacles

  • Actuators / output devices: 2 modified servos
  • Control method: autonomous
  • CPU: none
  • Operating system: haha-its a joke? :D
  • Power source: 7, 2V Li-Po batterie
  • Programming language: none
  • Sensors / input devices: 2 Bumper switches
  • Target environment: indoor flat surfaces

got no brains?

you should just gob some rat brains on it - they seem to be able to do it all…

:smiley:
:smiley: Well- there is "almost" no brains. Actually this project encouraged me to make a sumo robot only on transistors (this means all logic functions and motor drivers will be made on germanium transistors (this is for the retro!)). Need to schock someone. :wink:

I especially like those

I especially like those wheels. Nice work.

Great job dude, but can you
Great job dude, but can you possibly post a schematic?
