Just finished building this bot yesterday. It looks a lot like one I made 2-yars ago but with some improvements.
New robot is more compact, has ultrasonic sensor instead of a Sharp IR.
Motor is from an old floppy drive and the gearbox is aluminum bar stock with gears and tires from slotcars.
Chassis is 1/8" polycarb. Steering is by a 9gm Servo. I used one side of a #HG7881 Motor controller board.
Distance sensor is a #HY-SRF05 and of course a Picaxe 08M2 Proto Board with some female connectors
added to plug in the wiring. I have to do some range testing to see what readings the srf puts out to use in my program.
Should have a program working soon and a video.
Thanks for looking!
Cheers
