How to Build a Robot - The BeetleBot

Step 14 How does it work?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

ps- This robot does not stop the opposite motor when it touch a wall, it REVERSE the opposite motor so the robot will pivote and avoid obstacle the GOOD WAY!

BEAM powered robot will short circuit the opposite motor so the robot will need to push it's way out .

All the drawing where made with PAINT!
