Title: Arduino Robot crawler / tank
Post by: jaosef on May 07, 2013, 04:01:41 PM

Just finished this build.. Finally got it to behave as I wanted to. It is better on larger areas, where it can go at full speed for longer times. Code for the arduino is in the video description.

Nice! I like the look of it.  ;D What are you using the two ultrasonic range finders for? Is this RC or independent?

Thank you, I found that it kept hitting stuff like table-legs and other small objects. So it helps the robot to detect those things. It is 100% autonomous (independent), although I have considered buying some wireless input like a bluetooth module.
