BS2 based Robot

this is my robot named Jorge he consist of:
1x Pololu RP5 chassis
1x BOE
2x HB25 motor controllers
1x PING))) sensor
1x PING))) Bracket Kit
3x 14" servo extension cables
1x Plexi-Glass sheet
A few things that i decided to do was... instead of "daisy chaining" both HB25's together i let each HB25 have its own sevo header on the BOE. I did this because:
1. It made my code simpler because i didnt have to send "750" stops any more.
2. i could use almost all "BOE-BOT" code. (with slight modification for turns & stuff)
Oh ya...... And im Only 13

    Very nice workmanship. Using the servo headers gives a clean look. Don't forget to post your code.

    Thanks Mikerocontroller,
    The code is very simple but I'm trying to enhance it so when i gets caught in dead ends it can maneuver away from the dead end.

    It's in the Link

    Great Job! Very clean and well organized robot. Keep up the good work and share with the forum your progress with the robot and code.

    A video of it working would be great as well.

    Great work. Might I inquire as to where you got the tracks?· I have been looking for a good source with no luck. PM me if you have the time. Once again, great work.
