My first moving robot. It's an arduino based bot that uses two continuous servos, adafruit motor shield, and Sharp IR. The wheels were scavenged off of a toy car I found at a thrift store, and the body is built from a two Erector type toy sets I found at the dollar store. The toy sets are awesome, cheap ($5 and $8), and came with a ton of parts and hardware!! Also, the back of the bot has a ski that is made from the front fender of a toy motorcycle (thrift store find).
