"Due to the fact that there are MANY different ways to assemble these bots with different behaviors, there is no one "right way" build and program the bots, there is no manual on assembly or programming. That process is left up to the imagination of the builder."
You plug the "Sensor Shield v4.0" on top of the "Funduino UNO R3" (Arduino clone) and wire the other components to the sensor shield. There are libraries for the various parts, either included in Arduino (like Servo), or third-party libraries (like IRremote and NewPing).
I bought the same kit and started experimenting with it, first thing I noticed was that the pinout on the wiring diagram from the link you used too differs with what the sketches say. So at first I had two wheels spinning and nothing else, changing the wiring to be in accordance with the sketches and not the wiring diagram got me further. But by then my batteries were all but dead, sigh.
I won't have time to explore further for several days, but it looks promising.
sorry to re cover the answer on this. Being new to this i am not confident at writing my own scripts yet.
does anyone have any of the links that are still live? or have the .zip file as linked to above for this project that I can have a copy. Any help would be much appreciated.
