July 24, 2009 Update: Upgraded to use the new Pololu chassis plates. This is my second bot. This one uses a RP5 tracked chassis that I bought from Pololu. It also uses Pololu's Qik2s9v1 serial motor controller. Currently the only sensor is a Parallax Ping attached to a servo for scanning. I plan on adding some Sharp IR's for close in detection and an optional line-following kit. I made an Arduino library for the motor controller. It can be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/qik2s9v1arduino/ ...
