W.A.L.T.E.R. is my experimental and learning robot platform and will never be complete. This is the first robot I built, back in 2006 - W.A.L.T.E.R.. It was named by a friend of mine and became the Wheeled Autonomous Learning Terrain Exploring Rover. I originally called him Octabot due to his shape. V1.x used a Basic Micro Basic Atom microcontroller and a few Servo Erector Set brackets from Lynxmotion.
