Currently working on creating a mbed based robotic development platform. So far I have a basic prototype made and will post pictures once it at least gets to a beta stage.

Just finished measuring out the final product of the robot chassis, the acrylic will be getting cut tomorrow at work, Drawing up schematics and reference designs to help with the creation still. I ran in to a bit of a snag with mixing up a wire and burning out my display so it will take me a bit longer to create the software for the robot.
Have the robot built pretty much, this is only the first version and I see room for a lot of improvements. I hope I can post pictures soon. Using mostly pololu parts I will get a parts list with pictures up shortly. Working on the software part.
- 3 x Sensors, 2 SDS, 1 Sharp 10-80cm Object Detection (1 in front, 1 above each wheel and 1 underneath)
- 3 x Pushbuttons for user control/programming
- 1 x 20x4 LCD (Blue background w/ white text)
- 2 x Pololu Wheels (Black)
- 1 x Ball caster (Metal 1/2")
- 1 x voltage regulator
- 1 x accelerometer (XYZ axis)
- 1 x QTR8-A Sensor array
Pictures soon.
