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
