AN SMALL UPDATE: 2/10/2013. 2 PICTURES ADDED.

Meet punch the snail .. he is made of a funnel that I found in a warehouse a few months ago.

I thought hmm, this could be a robot snail, I took the funnel with me, and started to find the other parts to be used, and it has just evolved as I worked with it.

the plan is that it runs slowly in the room without running into things,  the emergency stop switch will work as a tease switch, a get a move on switch, speed up switch, the snail vill then get mad and finally do something about it.

A better view of the emergency stop switch. UPDATE  2/10/2013

it has 2 x 7 sigment display for the eyes that will have different expressions depending on the situation it's in.

there are 7 LED which forms the mouth, 3 for angry and 4 for happy, in the middle of the mouth is a LDR resistance, which I will use to measure whether it is day or night, and then change the setting for IR sensors.

I just started programming. and there will be a video soon. two be continued. mean while some pictures.

A look from behind, all the wires from picaxe to sensors and leds. UPDATE  2/10/2013
