Got an Amazing Activity Bot Program?

I'm doing some demos at a robot club this weekend. I have several bots to dust off and show, and an unassembled Activity bot. If I rush and lose some sleep, I can just barely assemble the Activity bot in time for the show. But I won't have any time to play with it. Does anyone have any nifty programs that I could simply download & use to make a lasting impression on this mostly Arduino crowd? If not, my A-bot will have to wait a month or three until next opp.

    I don't know if anybody has anything ready to load and go except Parallax (Andy??? Jessica??? Stephanie???)

    As for assembly, you won't lose much sleep, I think it took 20 minutes to build mine and I actually followed the instruction book!! So far I've spent about 40 minutes with mine - 20 to build and 20 to play with the calibration programs. I'm my usual little amount of help.


    ANDY!!!! JESSICA!!!! STEPHANIE!!!! :smile:

    EDIT: I forgot, did you check the LEARN pages?? Got some PING and whisker and light examples written in C!

    Just a super simple figure 8 in C...

    Figure8.zip

    Attached is a zipped SimpleIDE project. Was going to submit to your Figure-8 challenge with some mods, but here it is in a most simple form...


    Be sure to run the calibration code from the ActivityBot Learn pages, before running this...

    How about the Juke Bots code? Arduino can't do all that stuff.

    Did you want to show off the Propeller running C or just show off the Propeller?

    Ken has just about got me convinced to switch over to C but I think I'd be better able to help you out with Spin.

    Did you have something in mind? Do you want the robot to memorize it's path while under remote control and retrace it?

    I'm willing to spend a few hours mixing any code you've seen me use together for a demo.

    IIRC, Ken's Juke Bots use Spin so I think I could add it into the mix (don't you love accidental puns).
