This robot is pretty good one.I had spent a lot of
time working on designing my Short Stuff robot and one Saturday just felt like
building something. As I looked through my robot box and the pile of parts on the floor
I found I had 3 untouched 8" round PVC decks from Budget Robotics, an unused DC-DC converter,
some servos, O-Wheels that I had just bought to see how they went together, and 3 OOPics that
I hadn't used in about a year! So I started building.
Usually when I start something without a plan I turn a pile of parts into a slightly smaller
pile of broken parts. This robot was somehow different (the robot gods must have pardoned it).
As it took shape it looked good, and (GASP!) it even worked!
This guy mainly hangs out on the shelf now, but may eventually get a new breath of life if I
put an AVR in him.
