infrared sensor is better or sonar

[Eltimple]

@samjhonson007 hi...infra red at these short distances, sonar sensors are good but at larger distances, i.e. 50 cm to 10 m say whereas the infra rad is good from 0 to 30cm say

just dont operate this bot on carpet or hi traction surfaces.. i built a base with the same components and the tamiya gearbox stripped gear teeth off on simple carpet.

@mulletcar , I think you were just unlucky or had the rubber tracks on too tight. This bot was only powering the motors with 4.8 volts from nicads, you have to be pretty harsh on them to break them.

@Eltimple that might be the case, i also had the fastest gear ratio assembled..it was too fast for that 30 seconds before the grinding commenced. i think im going to modify 2 servos for continuous rotation and start over, either way, nice bot man!!

[Eltimple]

@mulletcar Ahh yes that would be a problem, i slowed mine right down to give the electronics time to react.

cool ...... hey could u please send me the manual .... so that even i can try it out

[satweavers]

I like watching self-motivated bots thinking. Very tasty!

i like the scanner mount

yep 18a will do it, with infra red ranging module and a tamya tank gear box
