hack a battle bot
Hi,
Here is a work in progress when my 6 month old falls asleep. It will be a hacked battle bot I picked up w/o remotes. I figured they would be more fun running off arduino. In this case Really Bare Bones Board and home made motor driver board used in my previous attempt. I basically just ripped all of the on board circuitry off and will use the body with the motors. This toy is set up similar to a tank where the left side wheels are controlled by one motor while the right side wheels are controlled by another motor. Should be cool. I attached the RBBB to a breadboard, the motor driver, and the ping. Should be a pic available. I'll post video once it is working. Thanks.
it will go around autonomously via a ping sensor to detect obstacles
