Mannys First Robot.

Hi, i am new here and this is my first robot.

Inspired by the awesome tutorial by FritsL.
Of course, i made my own modifications. I wanted the tread-look to have it crawl around in my livingroom.
I salvaged parts from my old Computer Chassi and some parts from my broken 19" LCD Screen.

Of course, this thing falls apart a little bit now and then due to the doubble-sided rubber-tape not being strong enough.
The video shown is the first inital test.
I think i might have to tweak the AI of course and the amount of turning when encountered with an obstacle.

This stuff is real fun.
Gonna be doing more robots in the future.

Stuff to add to this guy:

1. Speaker (He will make noise and play different movie-themes in different situations.)

2. Diodes! (Of course. Need to glow in the dark. Green when pushing forward and red when obstacle is precent)

3. Powerswitch (Gotta make it easier to turn on and off.

4. Something awesome.

Thanks for this great site.

Update:

Added another video using code from Frits. However, while taping this video he managed to update the code :o
In this update it also has:

1. Speaker

2. Diode

3. Powerswitch

So i guess all that is left to physically add at this point would be "Something awesome"

Cheers!
