SOCBOT - The Next Generation Vibrobot

Step 12TAKE IT FURTHER

TAKE IT FURTHER
.


Here are some ideas for future versions:


- use transistors to apply full current to the motors (they are now running at 40% capacity)

- make a light seeking or light avoiding socbot.

- Make a whole bunch of light seeking (or avoiding) sockots, each with an LED and study how they interact with each other.

- make a sound seeking socbot

- make a line following socbot

- make an even smaller socbot using an 8 pin wire wrap socket.

- make a larger socbot using a 40 pin wire wrap socket

- write code for the picaxe to make the socbot trainable or programmable. Maybe use the remote to move it through a series of moves and then let it repeat the moves.

- make two or more sockbots that can communicate with and influence each other using infared codes



The possibilities are nearly limitless.
