It has come along nicely, and finally,IT WORKS! i made a reverse circuit,(to switch from photovore to photophobe) and i'm thinking of looking more into those beam robtics websites, and i think its awesome that a roboticist can get :inspiration: from insects, and stuff that normally gets squished when we se them. NEXT PROJECT: line follower,(could use already finished :herbie:(i call him :firefly:,though) or some kind of sumo(with not so complicated touch switches and things like that, b/c i don't have the budget for a BASIC kit) Tue, 27 Sep 2005 20:51:20 GMT http://robots.net/person/pyrosk8er/diary.html?start=1 http://robots.net/person/pyrosk8er/diary.html?start=1 Does anyone know where to find the chip used on beam robots without having to go through an online store? possibly electronic device hacks(vcrs, tvs, stereos?)maybe? and also, where can i find motors with good speed, but higher torque, without having to buy expensive rare-earth magnets? ANY information on hacks, or free stuff websites, or even, dumpster diving, would b greatly used and appreciated... -PyRo$k83R Tue, 27 Sep 2005 19:32:38 GMT http://robots.net/person/pyrosk8er/diary.html?start=0 http://robots.net/person/pyrosk8er/diary.html?start=0 I have been researching balancing robots, line followers, and autonomous robots all day long(since 10:17 a.m.)(it is now 2:51 p.m.) i would appreciate advice regarding line following plans and schematics. -PyRo$k83R
