Wobot
So I built this robot platform a year ago and had no knowledge of programing. So this Year I learned programing with the basic stamp Boe bot class. I finished that and I remembered I had this robot platform I had not used and so I started thinking about a next robot have could use this frame. I build the eyes out of bottles and ping pong balls with LED's stuck inside. They give a nice effect of eyes
. I glued two IR sensors and IR LED's on the front sheet of plexiglass. I bought a board for the Robot platform the problem was it would turn on every time you put a battery in and every time you wanted to turn it off you'd have to yank the 9V battery out, so I got some 9V connectors from a old plane crash alarm and wired it all up so I can just flip the switch to turn it on/off.
