here is a pic of my robot, it's based on a DF Robot RoMeo board with a parallax PING ))) sensor.
basically it just cruises around and when the ping picks up an object it turns right.

RoMeo Rover now has a set of encoders and a servo for the ping, I haven't updated the code for these changes yet.

Cool Robot

sure I can post a video

just give me a couple of days, as atm i’ve only got my iphone for videos.

Expensive?

Problably a very expensive robot, those 2WD DFrobot robotplatforms aren’t cheap. And the RoMeo is also not the cheapest option.

Anyway, it looks pretty cool. And it will also be pretty good for beginners.

the $200.00, i quoted was just a guess it probably cost more.

the 2wd platform was about $70.00 alone, but I reckon it’s going to be a good development platform.
