well done, although it is a close copy to the beatle bug...

http://www.gorobotics.net/articles/robots/how-to-build-a-simple-robot-beetle-robot

if you did copy it, try not to next time.

hey thanks

It is not really a beetle robot but a battery powered photopper design.
http://www.solarbotics.com/products/k_pp/

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!

Check your spelling. (It should be SURE not SHURE) :)
punkhead58 in reply to Cubie2Feb 9, 2010. 4:58 PM
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.
Cubie2 in reply to punkhead58Feb 23, 2010. 5:15 PM
Agreed, I was just pointing that out :P

dragonface says: Sep 10, 2009. 9:32 AM

rocketman217 says: Mar 21, 2009. 1:30 PM
I made one and it gos in circles because one motors faster would ading a resistor help????
confudled person in reply to rocketman217Aug 7, 2009. 12:38 PM
it should
paintsniper says: Jul 28, 2009. 9:01 PM
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
paintsniper says: Jul 28, 2009. 8:54 PM
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

its too cool
vpbotbuilder says: May 5, 2009. 9:45 PM
do i really have to use guitar strings for the sensors, or can i just use regular wire? any reply will do t5hanks
peterjacob (author) in reply to vpbotbuilderMay 6, 2009. 4:27 AM
any bouncy/spring like wire will do!
=D
vpbotbuilder in reply to peterjacobMay 24, 2009. 12:17 AM
OK, awesome. this will be my first robot so im going to make an instructable dedicated to it. thanks and keep up the good robots =D
Sergant Tinkers says: May 21, 2009. 6:02 PM
Awesome! Really love it!
Berkin says: Mar 20, 2009. 8:58 AM
