OK, the robot chassis has been made d=
I cut a 3" x 6" rectangle of foam board. I also used a water bottle as the tutorial says.

mmmm

look for a cooler chassis once the robot works,

use parts and cases that are just lying around....

Yea my goal for the $50 Robot was to make a chassis extremely cheap and easy, requiring almost no tools.

Its to get people started.

But I expected no one to settle for my design, and hoped everyone would quickly upgrade after understanding the basics . . .

Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a long time...
I'm still building it but I came to a problem. I think I screwed it up when soldering. I'd post pics but all come blurry...I don't know why my camera is a piece of shit.
Anyway, I'll try to take one shot as clear as possible.

You need to use a solder sucker or some solder mop to get rid of the excess.

not at all, this happens all the time

follow hazzer's advice

you can use a solder sucker , desoldering wick, or even just melt the solder and while its melted push off the excess solder with a dentist pick or something

OK guys I'm back at building this robot, I halted this project due to lack of knowledge and motivation. I entirely focused on bodybuilding (on vacation). So now that college has begun I have bought better tools, I was gifted soldering practice equipment (like 50 resistors for free lol and 2 boards)
Tomorrow will restart work on it ;)

Progress!!   :D
After hours of analyze, searching and asking, I finally broke trough.





NOTE: The long wires are for the programmer.

I still need to add more stuff and build the sensors, modify the servos for continuous rotation or maybe use the ones I got on the sumobot.
