Weekend Project: Build This Simple Robot in 5 Minutes or Less!

A very simple robot using two gearmotors, a picAxe motor controller, An IR Detector, a battery pack with switch built in, along with a piece of wire and a plastic bottle cap. Wrap the whole enchilada in tape, mount the motor controller and IR detector and you have a cool little Bot Bot style Robot in less than 5 minutes.

Reminder: Some of you are forgetting to make sure you have picAxe 08m chips. If you use an 08, there are no interrupts. You can write your own code and instead of using the interrupt, you simply loop through and check to see if the IR is triggered (It thinks it's a high), or better still set a flag that is checked a lot.) This won't work as nicely as does the 08m solution on CwhatIcanDo, but you can get your robot running!

The whole enchilada, with schematics and software for the picAxe m8 chip:

Great stuff. The music however is kind of funeralish. I feel like my end is coming while watching the vid.

first i like the way u reply for ever comment, not a lot of ppl do that! Secondly the word "simple" dosen't suit this... i do not understand.. i'm trying to understand the concept of robots to join the FRC first robotics competition. do you know where i can learn the basic concepts of the motors and sensors... and how do u connect the whole thing, (with glue??)

@sahiti321 learn to soldir for wires =) (i am a starter in robotics im 15 and ima gonna try to make this with my dad! i cant wait gonna price the supplys today.)
