This Robot uses the Motoruino By Guibot http://lab.guilhermemartins.net/2010/03/09/motoruino/
The Motoruino is a very handy board for creating projects such as this one.
This robot is wirelessly operated by a 2.4 Ghz aviation radio. the receiver PWM signal is analyzed by the arduino.
2 proximity sensors are currently on board.
More info, schematics of sensors, video etc.... soon.
Updates:
new smaller battery
added another arduino.
added camera
added movement for the camera.
A 1 mile bluetooth serial module has been added to the robot. now i can move it from the computer, i specifically want to move the camera from the computer. a computer vision program will analyse the image and send proper commads down the serial tunnel.
what it should do soon is :
lock onto objects and track them with the camera alone.
lock onto objects and follow them with the tank.
Move around RC, obstacle detection......
