haha, but i found that hard to believe that your voice sounds like a low frequency pulse, smash.

SmAsH · « **Reply #12 on:** April 14, 2009, 12:57:02 PM »

$:-\$ just imagine a whale..... i am 14 and theres nothing you can do about it! how old did you think i was superchiku?

dellagd · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2009, 01:46:15 PM »

can u guys talk about my robot instead of criticizing my voice plz

frodo · « **Reply #14 on:** April 14, 2009, 01:49:32 PM »

aww sorry. lol. nice robot but the wheels are a bit juddery which could be improved.

dellagd · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2009, 01:52:25 PM »

I hope to upgrade to DC motors so with a flick of a switch the robot goes from autonomous to R/C
because of the speed I think the juttering would go away.

SmAsH · « **Reply #16 on:** April 14, 2009, 03:34:05 PM »

do you know how your going to do the transition from r/c to autonomous? a mech switch on your robot?

superchiku · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2009, 04:19:25 PM »

do it by flick of switch by software or by hardware... ur choice..

dellagd · « **Reply #18 on:** April 14, 2009, 05:19:41 PM »

bump!
so what do you guys think of the construction?
I also added new vids to the tutorial

SmAsH · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2009, 04:52:23 AM »

the vids are ok, but kinda short. also you don't really explain much in them?
@the construction:
the construction of your robot is actually pretty good looking even though it was made of pvc piping lol.
i dont know what it is about ghetto robots, i just like the way they look. weird huh?
i also liked the way you reinforced the wheels, what are those stick looking things?

dellagd · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2009, 05:56:35 AM »

the sticks are square wooden dowels I had laying around.
the short videos I can fix easy. (though the main point of them was just to show the robot working, not how it works)
I chose PVC pipe because it is really cheap

frodo · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2009, 06:05:12 AM »

try and do some vids about how it works then

SmAsH · « **Reply #22 on:** April 17, 2009, 06:28:15 AM »

$:-\$ if you are ever making more just set up the cam on a tripod next to your work area so we can see what you are doing, and maybe talk along with it telling us what you are doing and how you are doing it. this will help a builder see how its done and get a better understanding of what he or she is doing. although props for making the vids at all

dellagd · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:55:59 AM »

I did add more vids to the tutorial on how to cut out the slots for the servos.

Nice robot, although the youtube video's didn't work...? I had to go on youtube and type in "my wall-avoiding robot". But oh well, still really good.

My Voice sound just like yours on tape like a girl !!!! And I'm 14 and my voice has broke...

I HATE It Hate I Hate It !!

Man, this Topic has made me laugh !!

I feel like I'm not alone, there are other people in this world who sound like chicks when they talk on camera

@ superchiku

You still single?

Guessing from "nice robot...jst curious but ::)who is the girl in the 1st video" that...

SmAsH · « **Reply #25 on:** April 24, 2009, 08:46:25 PM »

private reid, with the youtube videos, you have to use "LQ" or "LQ+" down the bottom of the vid to make it work.

Private Reid · « **Reply #26 on:** April 24, 2009, 08:47:42 PM »

Oh.... Why?

What does that stand for?

SmAsH · « **Reply #27 on:** April 24, 2009, 08:54:03 PM »

they stand for low quality and low quality plus. it just means that the vid hasn't been uploaded in high quality... yeah, i don't know why that isn't a preset with vids on this forum yet. but yeah, its not going to kill me to click once

To get rid of the jerkiness, you should increase the amount of rotations the wheels go through before it checks it's sonar again.

And what language did you program it in, you might be able to use 2 strings to process the ultrasound and keep the wheels going too.
