This was my first legitimate "robot." I hacked it together from an arduino and a RC car chassis. Bizarrely, the forward/backward for the drive motor was pretty unproportionate. Because of this, my attempts at doing stuff like rendering golden spirals (via a little fibs generator) didn't work, so I just ended up using stuff in its way to keep it from getting out of control.

I plan to make a more controllable bot, maybe this time with modified servos or steppers to drive it.

Stuff used:

  • Standard Arduino Duemilanove
  • L293D based motor shield from ladyada (http://www.ladyada.net/make/mshield/)
  • Cheap RC car
  • Lots of tape
