Robothon is
coming...Oct 25, 26 in Seattle
I've got the following entries cooking
DoodleBug - Line Maze Event - A 68332 (MRM) based line
follower built on a two-level 6" circular base. The drive
system is based on a dual-motor Tamiya tractor kit driving
hobby wheels. This is the same Tamiya kit that donated the
tracks for ShoveBug
ShoveBug - Traditional Mini-Sumo - A 68332 (MRM) based
500g sumo bot with tractor treads driven by hacked servos.
Atlas - 3kg Sumo - Another 68332 project - This is the
least baked of the three and I may drop this bot in favor
of finishing FireBug 2.0
FireBug 2.0 - Fire Fighter - A fast-moving x86 based
bot with PIC sub-processors. This is the most advanced bot
from the standpoint of sensors, drive system and software.
It'll be a real challenge to wrap up by the end of the
month.
All of the bots are using the same control-system software -
a subsumptive architecture based on message passing.
