Subject: [alt-beam] New tracked bot - with Innovatiuon
Hi
I just finished the frame for my new tracked/phototropic bot. (no
offense) You get tons posts to the list saying "I built a walker" and "I
built a photovore" but that technology has been out for years. You rarely
get a post where someone comes out with a new schematic that has a lot of
innovation. I'm hoping this post will inspire some of the more advanced
beamers to come up with there own really cool ideas. Maybe a contest for
the bot with the most innovation? Chiu-Yuan?
Here's a clip of some of the stuff I wrote out on the web page....
4. Sensor inputs - 2 tactile sensors, 1 IR detection sensor, 2 Heat
sensors, 4 photo detectors, 1 tilt switch
5. (Tactile sensors) When the sensor on the right is bumped it will turn
left and likewise for the other sensor
6. (Tactile sensor innovation) When the sensor is still tripped after
five seconds (aka - It's stuck) It will try something else.
7. (Tactile sensor sub-mode 1) After five seconds it will try to turn the
other way for 3 seconds.
8. (Tactile sensor sub-mode 2) If still stuck it will try to back up for
3 second
9. (Tactile sensor sub-mode 3) After trying for 11 seconds it will shut
itself down to conserve it's batteries.
Go to the web page to read more and see photos....
