nice now in processing make a realease button command ( if there is one) so it stops it without you haveing to hit the stop button. im working on something like this ( just not as complicated
@Marcham89 I was pretty lucky in the fact that I obtained all the parts through my University so it didn't cost anything but I think it would be pretty expensive in total.
The chassis (Traxster) is around $200
The pan/tilt servo will be around $30
The wireless camera is around $50
Obviously the iPod/iPhone is expensive if you don't already have one
@Marcham89 I used cheap AM TX/RX here (433 MHz) but they are prone to interference (and interfere with remote car door keys - at least in the UK!) so in an improved model I have built since, I replaced them with XBee modules (2.4 GHz) but these interfered with the wireless camera so had to change the channels to avoid cross-talk etc.
@Marcham89 I was just using an Atmega328 - I originally developed the project using the Arduino platform and then built a standalone system on stripboard.
Good luck on your build - I will keep an eye out on your page to see the results. Any more info, please just ask.

How much would you say it cost to build this robot.... platform, sensors, and all?

The rest of the electronics is pretty cheap.

@eencae Thanks for the info! Looking to build something similar and code it in .NET. Which micro controller are you using for this bot?

@lauracaicedo10 There is one on Sparkfun. Search for TouchOSC. I tried to post the link but it would not let me.

I'm sure you will do something better as part of the module!
