Default Kalsaber

KALSABER v1.0
Krumlink's Autonomous Light Seeking Advanced BEhavior Robot v1.0

DESCRIPTION
SABER is my finest robot yet. It has a light tracking head on the top, with 2 sets of sensors on it for maximum readout. It has 3 H bridges, 3 motors, a set of reversing circuitry, lots of wiring and a lot of time into it. It works great, and it uses the Rflex1 Robot Body, utilising it to the max. I took many pictures (and soon a movie) of SABER, because it is quite the accomplishment. The entire concept is based upon by me, and It includes modified circuitry from existing circuits. As you may notice, the sensor board has been rebuilt and salvaged from Spaghetti, my first robot, which was a line follower.

OPERATION
SABER Will first lock onto a light source (in the pics a lantern) SABER will then track the object by bouncing the light between it's 2 sensors, making it "wobble" back and forth. It then sends this light signal into a H bridge, making the head move to track the light. IT then sends the same signal into a H bridge motor controller. It then makes the robot body turn where ever the head is pointing, therefore creating a very effective Horse and Rider. The Rider being the Eyes and brain (Robot Head), and the Horse being the vehicle of transportation.

EXPLANATION OF PICTURES
18: Side View. Note the Conduit in the back
19: Front view showing sensor board
20: Top View
22: Closeup of sensor board
23: Sideview
24: Top left right view
25: Another view with my dog's legs in shot watching it run
26: SABER Tracking and following the Lantern
27: Offcenter shot, due to movement of SABER
28: A nice top right front shot, showing the 4 component boards
29: Another nice shot

I really enjoy this robot, hope you enjoy the pictures.

Also, SABER Went through A TON of trial and error before I got it right.

Why is there a screwdriver inside?

Nice work, they're getting better and better.

have you considered posting your pictures to a website like flickr or any of the nock-offs?

then people with slow connections can see thumbnails and only download the ones they're interested in

plus you can tag them with keywords and lots of other people can see them if they search for robots, etc.

if you have control of the programming for your website, you can install your own "gallery script" as well. Then you don't have to put up with the advertisements yahoo puts on flickr!

I can see your photography is gradually improving,.

A good project overall but I think you need to neaten it up a bit, it's just a bit untidy.

A neat project doesn't just look better, it'll be more reliable and easier to fault find.

Thats one of the problems I face, is that it can be difficult with a dremel, a drill and hacksaw to create durable bodies. I am planning a large universal all extruded aluminum body. It will have a onboard PIC Programmer (the inchworm+ OR the Junebug) wired up to a PCB. It will be 2ft long and 1.5ft wide.

If you don't have a drill press, get one.

They are not expensive, and you can do a lot of things with them for which they are not specifically designed. Variable speed or one with a motor that you can adapt to VS (like an AD/DC universal motor) is a great advantage when cutting big holes, winding, sanding, etc.

Why so you can copy it and name it as your own?

IT DOESNT EVEN USE A MICROCONTROLLER LOL!
