Arduino Robot Platform
This project is ongoing. Updates will be listed below, with the most recent at the top.
UPDATE 2: We've added an ultrasonic sensor adapter for the rail system. Be sure to carefully fit the sensor in the first few times. Afterwards, it should slide in perfectly.
UPDATE 1: We've improved the body and main wheels. We've also added rails on top to add on anything you can think of. We're using the "shield" component to hold a breadboard.
You could easily modify it into a Raspberry Pi case or other enclosure to expand this platform.
We've designed and built this 3D printed Arduino driven robot to use as a platform for projects and for teaching basic robotics, 3D design, and Arduino programming in workshops.
This is the second attempt. The first used tank tracks but was VERY complicated! This one is simple and has worked well despite a few bugs.
It is still at thing in progress. We will be making several of these so as improvements are made, we will upload them here.
