hello friends,



i am making a autonomous path follower and obstacle avoider, i want to use two servo/dc motors for two back weels and want to just attach a caster wheel for front wheet. so having a bot with three wheel , is any problem ?? what type of body should i build ????? ??? ???

airman00:
OK first


what do you mean by path follower? what is the path?



three wheel bot is no problem.

I would recommend using HDPE for the material, buy it from McMaster

also what microcontroller will you be using? and what is your budget

ruffntuff007:
i have 4 friends to contribute. i already have bought a pic development board. going to programme it soon. where can i find hdpe ?

a regular motor or a servo . And also which exact motor and which exact servo

airman00:
as I said before McMaster.com

Also I would first build the robot and then program it.  :P


Also, what is the path that it is following???
