Robot Code Complete
Well this is what the V2.1 working robot looks like. Some added minor features have been added. The robot code is done and working. I just need an open space to let it out in the open. If you would like to see the code please contact me.

Robot V2 Completed
I finished the body of my robot. This is the new obstacle avoiding robot. It has turning, forward and backward movement and eyes! (The eyes are really ears.) Well, this is the cool new robot.
I know the front wheels are small, but there is a such thing as V3.
Total cost: worth it.
Now.... LET THE PROGRAM WRITING BEGIN!!

Continueous Servos with Wheels
Well, today I bought 2 more servos. Even though they were 15 dollars, I think that it was a good deal. I modified them to be "full rotation" servos using this youtube video. I attached the tires from an old RC car. These will be the tires of my new and improved robot.

My First Robot

(updated image)
Hey. This is what my robot looks like. I built it on the car body I posted earlier. The robot moves forward using a DC motor and 3 AA batteries. The robot turns using a servo powered by the Arduino's on-board 5V power supply. The servo is told in which direction to turn by 2 LDR's (one on the right and one on the left).
The robot moves toward lights. As of right now it cannot avoid obstacles. The Ping ultrasonic sensor will be put in on Wednesday the 10th.
