he is still in progress and in my lab for saftey.
The Story:
i got a robotic kit 2 years ago for easter, and when you clap, it will move.
that didint meet my standards, so i hacked it and added serious power(arduino). he dosent work cuz the arduino cant drive him yet :P.
Yet, his mission is to protect my prized posission, there is many features he has :D.
the robot kit i got is the robotikits 4in1 robot.
the mode he is is spider, but it was better traction, and i build all my robots in that mode(if they dont have tank/treads mode). i like it becouse of the traction and the side-to-side walk movement :).
Here is a picture, more will come soon
More Info:
the class 2 lazer is coming thext x-mas, its on my x-mas list XD)
there is no arduino cuz im deciding where to put the class 1 & 2 lazers.
im also deciding where to put the sensors.
the arduino wont drive it yet(wats the point of putting it on yet lol)
the class 2 lazer is to help my dad and i cut metal plates.
the class1 laser scans the room.
there is a ultrasonic sensoe too(comming soon)
it can hear(with mic supplied in kit)
and it has leds, to show, alert, attack, or standby modes.
i have to ask, when you say that a class 1 laser will scan your room... how exactly does a laser pointed towards objects in your room tell the arduino where to objects are.... its like pointing a flash light towards an object in a well lit room - completely useless
my newest creation. the laser will tell other
RETHRAboards[thats mine >>] to send a code to the main processor[Canhela] to send a message to arduino. no code yet. its been demolished and packed away cuz im working on a little fire alarm panel. but it only takes liek 5 mins to put it together >>
and the class 2 lazer does this.

in essence, the laser thing isnt new and is real - makezine made a vid on how to send messages using lasers... however the project, well... like i said, the thread makes me choke on my coffee wen i read it
