The Arduino uses an own language, based on wiring. It's a whole different environment. Many things are predefined and made very easy. However, you could program it in the ordinary language.

All this looks a little funny- someone is going to code his own bot and asking, what is MCU. The best idea (if you want to creat something, not just copy) is to start from some basics: blinking LED, button control, PWM control, H-bridge control and others. Start writing little programs on assembler, designe your own development board (this Arduino is overpriced by comparison with DIY. At least You will understand function of all components). But the first is tech materials: look for books (if You want to know authors PM me) and datasheets: http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/A/T/M/E/ATMEGA168.shtml. I believe this will help.
looks pretty good, i would buy itthe price is more than if you were to buy everything separate, but then again shipping is combined for all the stuff.
yea thats what i was thinking Smiley so...i'll buy this complect and then 3 servos a IR range finder , a multimeter, 7.2V battery... and a charger for it Smiley i think that would be everything i need Tongue

did the hummbot start out life as a tamiya Humvee kit???
Once you get your servos and sensors wired can you please post a picture of that? ( I'm thinking of using the Arduino also)
Digital servos, at the user end, are controlled no differently than analog servos.
is it possible to use a 6 volt battery to power the Arduino?
robonoob, very second sentence:QuoteDigital servos, at the user end, are controlled no differently than analog servos.Use a digital port. (rereading what I wrote, I think that tutorial needs a rewrite . . .)
Can you please upload your CAD to the Google Warehouse library and in one of the tags do societyofrobots . I want that CAD of those casters!Thanks

edit: i tried to put the mass as front as i could cuz i believe this would increase efficiency cuz the servos don't have so much to pull then
