This is my first robot, a line follower.
I got the idea and schematic from David Cook's book 'Robot Building for Beginners' at robotroom.com. Great book for first timers.

Pretty awesome, it does
Pretty awesome, it does pretty well. Have you tried anything else from "Robot Building" ?
No, that’s all I’ve done so
No, that’s all I’ve done so far. My next project will be a more complicated one, I’ll be following the project on the ‘Start here’ link on this site.
In New Zealand parts are expensive, so I need to research the cost effectiveness of using overseas suppliers. Also I can’t seem to find a supplier for the Sharp infrared ranger in NZ. So will have to use the SRF05.
But first I need some help with a project that I want to complete regarding building a flashing light for my bicycle that will be running via PICAXE 08. But I will start a new post for that.
