Expensive is a relative term

Please tell us your estimated robot ( its functions , size, weight , etc.) AND tell us what your budget range is for this project

I have 2 plan now....

Plan 1 is bluetooth control robot

Method in control....using bluetooth from my laptop to the robot.

Robot estimate height is around 15 cm until 20 cm

I try to make it move by leg/ if is no possible then i go for wheel.

Estimate price is 155 US DOLLAR

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need to get a journal to prove my project is mean something.

Please Advice.

My second plan is to make a wheel robot which using sensor to move by its own.

Example: The robot move accordingly to the track which i saw before.

Please Advice also how to make a proposal to my lecturer.

Here is a quick list of tutorials that you'd need for your robot (it may look like a lot, so just relax and take lots of notes):

A bluetooth module will use about $50. There goes 1/3 of your funding. Ask for more funding or change the communication channel

i'm actually able to do this right now.

I'm using a BlueSMiRF Gold BT breakout from sparkfun.com

Hooked up to the UART on my $50 robot. The MCU on that robot is either an ATmega8 or ATmega168.


I can use hyperterminal in Windows to send it commands.
