I've built the body with the wheels and all. Now all i have to do is get the stamp and proggramme it, get the gearboxes for the motors and make 2 h bridges.

Started work on my robot today (or tommorow for most of you) made the base and got the wheels hooked up, still need to get the gear boxes. Then ill need to get a basic stamp 2 for the controll. Still working on mapping system, need to make a distance wheel and a compass.

Just as a question, Is it better to have 2 driving wheels and a tuning wheel or the two driving wheels as turning wheels as well (one stops the ther one goes)?

And how do you make a cheap easy h bridge?

Hi all its me again ("oh god no") i've actually started on my robot project and I need to know a few things:

can anyone tell me how to hook up a basic stamp to a bread bord insted of a carrier board?(im running out of cash)

Its going to be a 3 wheeled robot with a mapping system inside it, the system will work by two instruments a compuss (no not the electrical one a real one with brushes so it is accurate) ans a tracker wheel that mesures the distance that the robot has gone by "clicking over".

When the tracker clicks over the robot will look at the compuss and calculate using a grid where it is, it will then turn that area of the grid off if i crashes into something it'll turn that area on so after a while it'll know where it is going. Any ideas that can help me? please email:

Thanks

For a science project, We have to make something thats "hands on" or interactable. The person who got top marks last year made a "thing" that explaned ohm's law (borrring) so im going to make a robot that is self controllable in an environment and can reconise some speech commands. It will "feed" off a power supply for about two hours then return to it's um...life? Where it will rome around the model invironment. It will use a basic stamp as a microcontroller. Iv'e already finished the design and a ruff copy of the programming .Soon i'll get the parts and then I can start to build.

Areas to finish: 1. Design 2. Build robot 3. Wash dog...I mean make environment

Current Steps: 1.0 Start design (fin) 1.1 Complete design (yet to be done) Est finish time: 10/08/02

Due date: Uncertain as of yet

Hope to get the website up soon.

Good luck to ROB.T. on building the robot and to anyone else who is Building one.

If you have any ideas that could help me in any way please email me at Psyco_0011@hotmail.com
