Jeremie @ solarbotics had a great suggestion for the occasional ultrasonic ping sensor failure. He suggested load monitoring on the DC motors. Smart idea!

Since the EZ-B has 9? 10? (i forget and i designed it). It has like 9 or 10 ADC ports. So I used one of them to monitor the GND line feeding the HBrdige. If positive voltage is detected on the GND, then a short is in the mix yo! Also, I monitor the GND close to the short as possible (Which is the hbridge)

ANYWAY! That isn't what this video is entirely about. It is a demonstration of my 2D Autonomous code working its magic.

What you will see is Omnibot driving around and navigating by not bumping into things before he moves. Watch as he navigates around objects and sometimes goes up to them. This is a demonstration in proper autonomous exploring. Compared to merely bumping and turning away from objects in front.
