Battery Robot

Advertisement for recycling

Duration : 0:1:39 These robots will be built around the RS-64 actuator that I will get into later. The code I use to control these motors will be isolated into a set of subroutines so that you may utilize other types of drive trains. For instance, you could use a brushless motor controller and motors as long as the routines to control the speed and direction of the motors are named the same. This will allow you to plug them into this system. The same applies to most of the sensors that I am going to use. While I will be using MaxBotix sonar sensors, you should be able to make your own substitutions as long as you work out the interface and return the distance to your objects in inches.

The type of controller you use will most likely set the size of your robot. If you are going to use a 17” laptop you will probably need a much larger platform than you would for a Pocket PC. If you create one large base you can place all your Items at the same level. This will make them easier access for modifications. In my case, I will size both robots to fit a small laptop, battery, robot arm, and various other electronics and sensors I might need. Better too large than too small.
