2 motor 4 leg shadow avoiding quadracore

This is a little project from last winter. I hope to make some better shaped legs one of these days for improved walking. When the light on the 2 photo diodes is balanced the rear legs movement is equal on each side. When 1 photo diode is brighter than the other the rear legs will turn more in one direction and less in the other. This cause the bot to change it's walking gait and direction.

BEAM robots are cool.

I still haven't sucessfully built one yet, but I have a couple boxes of dissected parts just wasting away...

Was that a sandwich robot the walker went by?

[LloydGod]

It a basic line following robot. but yes, it's a sandwich bot from Robert Cook's robot building books.

LOL Cyberdyne had to start some where! cant see this chasing anybody up the street just yet tho!

if you put some pads on the bottom of its feet/paws whatever they called. It will have better traction as for walking much better!
