thats good i might try to find one at my local electronics store(surplustronics of dick smith electronics)
basic stamps are a bit short in stock in new zealand so i might try to get a picaxe microcontroller instead, also thay are bigger so im less likly to loose it in my dump(
a.k.a bedroom)

so, i got my ultrasonic sensor.  works pretty well with a basic stamp on a bread board.. I havent gotten a chance to mount it yet.  the one i am using is here ( http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28015). 

 

little narrow on the beam though. can identify a pencil at about 15 inches though.

thats good or you could do somthing to make it do a set path but that might take a while and be quite hard

Hi all,

Just looking around trying to get some information on the building process.  Unfortunately I am not building a RC paintball combat tank (I would if I could get some friend in Arkansas to do it as well!!), but am looking for a similar base (same size & power) to use as a robotic lawnmower.  I reckon that basically all the parts for the drive system will be there except it will be controlled by a microcontroller and not have a turret, other than that, I think it should act about the same.

The other option (if I cant find anything to make a TTS out of) is to use a three point system with a caster and two drive wheels.

 

I am planning to make the first mock up out of plywood and then when I am ready use metal and lexan for it.  Hopefully this will get some attention from my friends to build the RC combat tanks.

Thanks

Mike
