Step 5Servo Control and Handle
Controlling the HB-25s can be done a lot of ways, but since RoboRealm supports the Parallax Servo Controller (USB), and we had one around, we used that.
Note that for now, we are not using the motor controllers on the Wheel and Motor Kits. The controllers are very nice, but for RoboRealm, we are using vision to drive the robot right now and don't need them. We may add that capability in the future, and for any other kind of control, using the controllers would make it easy to have the robot drive in a straight line etc.
Every robot needs a handle!
For ours, we bent some scrap aluminum and screwed it to the back. We drilled pilot holes since screwing into the side of 1/2 plywood is usually a mess. We're sure this can be done better! :-)
