Truckbot With Electronics in Action

I loaded up the truckbot with a Linux powered single board computer, a 2 DC motor controller, webcam, 3 axis accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, light sensor, thermometer, humidity sensor, wifi and sonar. Here it is in action, being controlled via a web browser-- The yellow 3x3 grid is a directional control. I forgot to enable capturing the mouse movements when taking the video so you can't see the much in the browser window other than the stream from the webcam. I learned it is difficult to set up a screen capture, film a moving robot and control the bot's movements at the same time!
