This robot is great and I really like how you did the position sensor, extremely clever and what "Instructables" is all about. That said, you might want to change the switch on your sensor, which basically just gives you "Bang-Bang" control and hence the instability, to a potentiometer or variable resistor. That may involve putting an amplifier in there, but we EE's have been allowing ME's to use electronics for quite some time now ;-) (mechatronics)

its pretty nice i made one myself but its not working that great lol
i think its because i only used two gears one on the motor and another one on the driver shaft so there's no mechanical income but im not sure if its that or it is just that the batterries are not fresh enought :O

thanks for the instructable and i apologize for my bad english

i think you could show some better angles and explain it better you make it seem hard the way you say it

Can you show exactly where does the sensor go from different angles?
