John Joseph (aka J.J.)
This is John Joseph, otherwise affectionately known as J.J. This is a Parallax BoeBot with some custom modifications. The most obvious mod is the color of J.J.'s chassis. His code is also modified to accommodate the specific spaces in the environment that he roams. With combined sonar and infrared, this bot rarely gets stuck. His sonar is a Parallax Ping ultrasonic and his infrareds came with the original kit. Sometimes, i'll kick back and channel surf while J.J. roams the place till his batteries give out.
