Started my robot. Thought I would share. I know it ain't about boats, etc.

My workshop is the kitchen counter. This robot is being made from scrap parts.

It has articulated steering and an articulated body. I have no idea if it will work . Mechanics is not my forte'.

Wiring to come later. I have written the micro controller code (program) to control the robot.

Wiring and programming is the easy part. Programmed in PBasic.

What is this robot designed to do?

Line follower. Line follow races coming up in March. I hope this steering works. I don't know what I am doing.

CP...what did you end up going with as your articulation?? Did you incorporate some sort of mass transfer?? Doesn't matter if its about boats...its "mechanics corner"....lol.

It will make people think too!! That always makes it worth it!

Two joint articulation. Articulation at steering and at trailer. Can't do much because of the one pound weight restriction. It ain't easy.

I'm justa swagging.
