$50 Robot with Sharp IR

As an upgrade to my $50 Robot project, I now show you how to add edge detection using a SharpIR rangefinder so that your robot can chase objects.

Full documentation can be found here:
http://www.societyofrobots.com/robot_50_robot_sharpIR.shtml

corrections: when I say 'laser rangefinder' I meant to say 'IR rangefinder'
when I say 'analog output' I meant to say 'analog input'
. . . was too lazy to redo that film just for those mistakes . . .

When you make the servo straight, you can just go into a picaxe text program and program it like this. Oh yeah, when I put the 0 just put what port the servo is on: servo 0, 115
