Nice!!

Congrats

I like the way you put it together. It's really easy to follow and understand step by step. Especially the circuit.

Good Luck on the contest

Man, it's so cool! Can you make it faster?

I should show you my 3 light sensors Lego Line following robot to see how fast is going and still wasn't fast enough to get me in the first 3 places!...

I'll work on speed, but the competition im entering is not about time , its about accuracy

Trumpkin · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2008, 09:41:27 AM »

(off topic) There should be a contest for the fastest working robot. I like fast robots.

Great Tutorial.

I hope one day to be smart enough to write one too.

There's a vote for the community (that's one prize) and another Admin chooses by his standards.

well I made a video of me doing a shake "test" on the robot and it still working

i uploaded it onto youtube and im waiting for it to process, ill post it when its done processing

any other things you guys want?

garriwilson · « **Reply #25 on:** March 02, 2008, 01:52:55 PM »

You know how you have 1-7, 7 being Troubleshooting. Well, I think you should have an eighth section for Videos. I was looking for vids and it would be convenient if they were all in one place. Just a suggestion

garriwilson · « **Reply #26 on:** March 02, 2008, 01:56:16 PM »

One of the reasons that I voted for you and Pratheek is that both of you finished in time (mostly

) and it was all complete. You guys did not procrastinate and that's a thumbs up for you. I looked at the others, and they were mostly incomplete with a "Work in Progress" sign.

That looks awesome!!!

Are you saying that you didn't know how to make this before you started researching?

Hope I can do that one day

airman00 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 02, 2008, 07:24:51 PM »

this was my first robot using a microcontroller , I had to do a ton of research

before this I used a laptop for processing ( on chives) and played around with R/C cars

People tell me I am very stubborn, which is why I get things done

If you research it and put in enough time, you can build anything !
