to mark as completed Heavy Tracks Gripper Robot
It's been a while since I had time to post anything here. This is my first outdoor type robot. I have the R/C mode testing almost done. The gripper should work better in microcontroller mode. It has more range then the R?C mode I learned from previous robots. I will soon be ready to program the BS1 and BS2 microcontrollers. I decided to go with two microcontrollers because it would be easier to have the gripper run on it's own. It will have some share and indepentent sensors. Work still in progress. It does pick up and carry a FULL 12 oz can. You can find some more imfo on my Crazy Rabbit's Home Robotics facebook page until I have more time to spend here.
