Start Here Bot (this time using an arduino)

It was a slow weekend and I had an arduino sitting around so i decided to make a quick robot. It also gave me an excuse to learn wiring which i've been meaning to do for a while now. It's your basic start here bot, shapelock chassis, everything is held down with zipties/hotglue and a rubberband. I'm having some power issues atm and can only run it autonomously when it's using either my laptop or desktop to power logic. I'm hoping to add an LCD and attatch the sharp some how but that will probably be done next week. Nothing too exciting.

Video coming after i get the LCD hooked up
