This is my next planned robot. It's based on pieces from the self balancing robot, that will be sadly recycled.

Components:

Brain: Arduino diecimila
Motor Driver: MD23 Dual 12Volt 3Amp H Bridge Motor Drive
Motors: EMG30
Battery: 12V scooter battery
Chassis: 2 circular plexyglass panels

It will be a general platform with enought room to experiment whatever comes in my mind :) I already planned some things, like remote control based on ZigBee links, mapping software, a remote tv camera, etc..

Here's the first picture :)

Early design:

My Dremel-cutted plexyglass, it's a circle precise to about 1 mm :) It has still the protective film on:

Some fitting test. Doesn't it looks like the 3d rendering ? :)

The two disks:

Detail of the third wheel mounting:

Navigate around, possibly mapping

Actuators / output devices: 2 * EMG30
Control method: autonomous, remote controlled via ZigBee
CPU: Arduino diecimila
Power source: 12V motorocycle battery.
Programming language: Arduino Processing
Sensors / input devices: Sharp IR
Target environment: indoor, easy outdoor
