video All Terrain Robotic Trike Test Drive
This is my ATRT (All Terrain Robotic Trike) robotic platform, during a test drive, today, 03-04-2009.
I have spent a while redesigning the ATRT recently, and posted a few 'ibles showing the building of some of the more interesting parts.
It features a laptop PC, controlling a slave MCU to control the hardware. To keep costs as low as I could, I used a lot of scrap/re-purposed materials and parts, and only one 12V battery, and forwent a welded steel frame in favor of a cheap wooden one.
In this video, I'm controlling the trike with another laptop PC and my client/server programs, while my awesome fiance films in the freezing cold. There are some more videos on my YouTube profile for this project: mobilisCruise

I have some of the details for this robot, spread across a few different 'ibles that I posted. Check out my instructables profile for a list of the different projects I have posted. This 'ible here shows how the steering system works, and this one covers more of the programming and electrical. Anyway, I built this specific machine before I started documenting my builds online, so I don't have very much information available for this specific robotic platform, but I do have this platform fully documented. I hope this information helps. Let me know if you read those and still need some additional info; I'll be happy to help.
