My Latest Robot, the "Artemis Nightshade"

The "Artemis Nightshade" is my second LMR robot, named after a friend's favorite character.  The Artemis is a new robot as well as a continuation of my "Luna Rose" project

The Artemis impliments some upgrades I had planned and purchased for the Luna, such as the RC Truck style wheels, Bluetooth and a LCD for feedback.

Unlike the Luna Rose which used a L298 motor controller, the Artemis uses a Pololu VNH5019 Arduino Shield configured as a stand alone controller inside the chassis to simplify wiring.

Taking a cue from the Luna Rose, which originated from Oddbot's Rover 5 modular wiring design, I have tried to make wiring as clean as possible and idiot proof during assembly/disassembly.  All wires from the Arduino to the VNH5019 are by a simple harness I made by gluing Crimp Connectors together into a L with the long side thicker to avoid any ambiguity during connection.

 

Update (Feburary 18, 2014):

Added a 9 DOF IMU (ITG3205+ADXL345+HMC5883L)

Naviagates around via ultrasound and takes control via bluetooth.
