    Hello,

    You can find all kinds of ideas that are inexspensive if you look at our educational text books.· I recommend the "Applied Sensors" text.· Here is a link for the educational text books:· http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/siccurriculum/documentation_sic_curriculum.asp·.·

    Thanks,

    Dave

    If you have a servo you could rig up a glove to give yourself the finger for being extremely rude to people who are trying to help you. Just a thought

    Heres a project that I havent had the time to make-
    A bot with two big wheels.· It is weighted on the bottom allowing it to drive with no other contact points.· I was thinking of using 2.2" RC stadium truck wheels and servos (2.2 refers to the rim, they are actually much bigger).· All that will be needed is two murcury tilt switches.· When the bot hits something and stops the chassis of the bot starts to tilt.· By angling the two tilt switches you can adjust how far the chassis must tilt before it backs up.· You could make it go straight forward and then back up in an arc for a distace or until it hits something, then go forward again.· The key is high traction wheels to keep them from just spinning when it hits something.

    It would be a cheap, simple bot that would be easy to program.· Murcury tilt switches·can be·ordered from Mousers for exactly $0.66·each.· Good luck.
