Path Following Robot Competition - Technical Track

Right, seeming as you are NEVER awake during UK times. The wee robot you made, is it complete home brew or from a semi-kit, as in a kit that has a central programmable chip (like a usb servo controller or similar) ?

@13igAdam2040 @13igAdam2040 That machine belongs to the school. The machines come in kit form, you have to assemble everything. That includes the soldering components onto the circuit boards. The machine itself is controlled by a PIC18F4525 microcontroller. It's a fairly simple 8 bit device, and it's a pretty good device to learn on. The code we wrote for it in C controls everything. Search PIC18F4525 in google if you want to find the device, I can't link it directly.

@alphasierra59 Excellent, excellent, been wanting to ask that for weeks.

Oh cool! Nice use of wire mod.

@redreaper2020 Making something like this in GMod actually wouldn't be too hard.
