This book will walk you through six different projects:
- Security Tank, which uses an infrared sensor to follow a beacon and aim its turret. This robot demonstrates the use of infrared technology for tracking a beacon, as well using proportional logic for a smooth feedback system.
- Omnilander, which can climb up steep slopes using its heavy-duty tank tracks. Special hardware gives it the ability to scale vertical obstacles. This project demonstrates the effectiveness of tracks for all-terrain navigation and shows specialized mechanisms, such as worm gears, rack-and-pinion, and clutches in action.
- Timmyton, an interactive robotic shark that features a custom GUI that allows the user to select multiple programs from ...
