Robots

Welcome to my robot page!!! This is the subject that I am most interested in. Too bad, that our school doesn't offer a course in robotics, that would be the best!!!! But here I will post pictures schematics and videos of robots I make. Right now I have taken out the book "Building Robots for Beginners" by David Cook. In his book, he is featuring his robot Sandwhich. I am going to try and duplicate his robot for a beginner project. The robot Sandwhich is a line following robot that doesn't use a microcontroller to make it follow lines. Instead, it uses a two sets of photresistors and a comparator chip. The chip compares the readings and turns on the motors accordingly, this is a simple robot so thats why I am going to try to make it. His website is www.robotroom.com

Another idea that I have for a robot is to build one that climbs air ducts. This robot would have a webcam hooked to the top of it and I would be able to roam around the air ducts spying on people or exploring. I could also make attatchments to clean out the ducts too.
