RoverBee One

Second robot ever built using the following:

- Erector set for chassis.

- Arduino Uno

- Arduino Motor Shield r3

- HC-SR04 Distance Sensor

- Tamiya Twin Motor gearbox

- Radio Shack 9V connector (270-0324) & Plug (274-1569) to power the Uno

- Radio Shack 4-AA battery compartment (270-0391)

 

I wanted to build a second robot after building the Popular Mechanics Build Your First Robot. I used the Clusterbot as influence since I had an Erector set to use and more parts from the first build. This took longer than I wanted due to poor soldering, weak connectors on the FA-130 motors, and design decisions since it was a scratch build for the most part. I am calling this completed, though, I need to do minor tweaking to the code base.

Autonomously roaming, avoiding obsticles

  • CPU: Arduino Uno
  • Power source: 1 9v for the Arduino & 4 AA's for the Motor Shield
  • Sensors / input devices: HC-SR04
