to mark as completed Beetle Bot
This is my first robot to post at letsmakerobots.com but I have built other contraptions I suppose could qualify as robotic - nothing sophisticated though - just gizmos.
Got the wiring for this one from Jerome Devers at instructables.com.
My bot is more of a wall follower with it's short feelers. I guess it is really a backwards beetle bot since my drag wheel is in the front.
Chassis is a piece of a clipboard, drag wheel is caster. I salvaged drive mechanism from toy truck.
Follows walls with feelers.
