It did it’s task very well.

Specs:

MCU = Roboduino

Sensor = IR Range Finder

Motors = HS-311 Servo’s

How it was built:

1) Modify the HS-311 Servo’s so they have continus rotation, I did it by soldering 2.2k ohm resistors to the wires. (Tutorial Here)

2) I than mounted the servos to the chassis using servo mounts for standard sized servos

3) Added the IR Range Finder to the chassis so I can than start the programming

4) I than used the Arduino program (Here) to program my robot

This is the program I made, you can use it for your own needs. (Code)
