Gizmo your first steampunk robot

Dear: LMR

Just to let you know I have been developing for the past month a steampunk robot. I have finished the mechanical and moving onto electrical and software. I am using arduino uno and arduino and the following materials.

List of materials.

• 2 * Red LED
• 3 * Green LED
• 1 * 9" by 9" cardboard sheet.
• 1 * 3" by 3" cardboard sheet.
• Lots of gears.
• Lots of bolts and nuts.
• Tape

So wish me good luck and enjoy the video.

Dear: LMR

You should know my progress is coming along fine. Just to let you know I am very sorry it took me so long to get as far as I did. In my defense this is my first robot and I ran into a lot of problems sourcing parts, building the robot, and remaining on task and for that I hope you don't hold against me for that. Anyways I finished the code and some of the electronics. The only problem is I am running into power issues which I am sure I can figure out. Enjoy!!!
