Just completed my last chapter.

PureGrain

Well, I must say. I have been really slow about getting back to work on my bot but today I completed my last chapter. It was a blast learning how this bot works and the 2 that I purchased for my kids are going to be un-boxed this weekend so we can start teaching them. I wanted to thank those who developed such a nice bot for learning. Now that this is completed. Is there a next level or more advanced set that I should get? Or should I just try to hack or manipulate this one to death first?

Thanks in advance for idea's.

Which bot is it? The Boe-Bot?

You might want to check out the "Advanced Robotics with the Sumo-Bot" book.

You should be able to use the example code with the Boe-Bot, and could probably make pseudo-sumos from them with some chassis mods.

PureGrain

Yes sorry it is the Boe-Bot.

Thanks i will check it out. At this time i am scavaging parts from my kids toys to see if I can get them to work using radio control.

Hello PureGrain,

I'm glad you are enjoying your Boe-Bot! Now that you've gone through the book, you might also check out "IR Remote for the Boe-Bot"
