Sheldon

Sheldon is currently in its third frame on his second microcontroller.  He started in an altoid can using picaxe and worked his way up to his current body using arduino.  I'm pretty happy with the body now so here's to planning thats how it will stay for awhile.  Currently it has a SRF05 ultra sound in the head (x and y axis) and a long range sharp in the neck (x-axis).  Still working in an infrared obstacle detector from rocketbrand studios and integrating bluetooth in as a debugging tool and possibly remote control later.  Still has a lot of work to be done with it.

Pictures for now, I'll update them with a better camera soon along with some video.

UPDATE: 7/29

After many different tries, I have the infrared bumper navigation working decent enough.  Bluetooth control is also working with remote drive, autonomous mode, and an independent head pan and tilt mode all using rocket brand studios android app which is truely amazing.  I was going to make an app on my own but there's no need when Rocket Brand Studios does all I need to.  All of this needs much refining, but Ill post videos in the next few days.
