hey thanks

It is not really a beetle robot but a battery powered photopper design.

He makes a sort circuit of the opposite motor, wich is not really efficient design since the motor was to try to push it way out.

It will get stuck 95% of the time.

lol many peaple ask me that... but i didnt coby it... it is an OLD video i posted even before i knew the beetlebot, witch i think is an avesome design!

Did you even watch the entire video, or did you just stop at the spelling error in the beginning?

This project was an ingenious design of a sentient, obstacle avoiding robot, without the use of any MCs, ICs, relays, or even sensors for that matter.

He should be applauded, not flamed.

Agreed, I was just pointing that out :P

Mar 21, 2009. 1:30 PMrocketman217 says:

I made one and it gos in circles because one motors faster would ading a resistor help????

Aug 7, 2009. 12:38 PMconfudled person says:

it should

Jul 28, 2009. 9:01 PMpaintsniper says:

also u should make a third connection from the battery to the motor so that one motor doesnt sto it just reverses otherwise good job cheers

Jul 28, 2009. 8:54 PMpaintsniper says:

iv designd heaps of beam robots,battle robots and some weird robots and i think that its going two fast and it shouldnt break as often as urs does to eliminate that adjust theangle of the motors up and it will slow adjust them down it will speed up.ask me if u want to see my designs cheers
