Hi, its very fun to make my first post here!

 

This is my first try with the Arduino.

A rover / bot Based on a brand new Traxxas Stampede.

All it does is to look for obstacles.

If it finds one it will stop, turn right and reverse then continue forward while scanning for obstacles.

 

I have never used C/C++ so please take pity :-)

 

BUT, when I started looking into Arduino and Traxxas this is what I would have been happy to find.

So now it exists...

 

But as I said, I have never used C/C++ so please take pity :-)

Best Regards

Welcome to LMR!

 Cool little robot. You should post some video of it off-road.

Hi again,

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

Yes the goal is to get a GPS, after I make it a bit more clever :slight_smile:

 

Have a great day!

 

Cheers
