Let's Make Robots Robots

A little robot that just wants to have fun! 

The code is choppy but works. I used some of Bajdi's code changed it up a little and will post it(code) in a bit.

Maybe I can get some help with adding the hc-sr04 so that it avoids objects like my other robots but picks up light with the Wii and overrides the obstacle avoidance. I have examples of both, just not together( it's just beyond my skills at this point).

Uh, it would be nice if you

Uh, it would be nice if you provided a lttle more discription with your post, or check the “is draft” and not have it appeared on the search pages etc. It is considered slightly bad manners to just post a pic with no description…

chill

I know the rules and I was working on it. The page would not let me…it was for one minute maybe… Take it easy and give it a minute at least!

Yeah I had all these old cell phones laying around and needed a project so I started playing with a couple… the next thing ya know all my robots have them and they were free.

nice

I have made a much simpler version of this using LDRs but your’s is better as my  robot needs the light to fall on it. Wait a second, mine is also powered by a cell phone battery. I wanted to verify if it is safe to use cell phone batteries.

cell batteries

 

I have been using them tons and I have no issues. Do your homework and don’t over charge.
