Well here is my start here bot. I want to do more with it eventually but I am moving on to the Aduino platform for my next bot that I need to design. The start here bot was fun and got me hooked into learning more. The hardest part with developing this bot was mounting the servo so that it would rotate the top CD spindle on top of the base CD spindle. My inspiration was R2D2 and would like to use it as a play bot and an easy way to try out new sensors, LEDs and what not. Future things I would like ...

Well here is my start here bot. I want to do more with it eventually but I am moving on to the Aduino platform for my next bot that I need to design. The start here bot was fun and got me hooked into learning more. The hardest part with developing this bot was mounting the servo so that it would rotate the top CD spindle on top of the base CD spindle. My inspiration was R2D2 and would like to use it as a play bot and an easy way to try out new sensors, LEDs and what not. Future things I would like to do is have LED turn signals on it, alter the programming so that it scans constantly in front of it to avoid obstacles that are not directly in its way, and probably some other stuff. Anyway I am declaring that phase one of this bot is done.

Navigates around mindlessly very slow avoiding large obstacles
