Re: Building Smaller Robots

Our RobotOpen Shield for Arduino and the associated controls protocol was specifically designed for projects like this. The protocol has built in examples for basic drive code.

The wifi comms part of the puzzle is the hard part. RobotOpen takes the guess work out and has safety features built in that disable the outputs should the bot lose communications data.

As I stated in a different thread, you can skip the RO board and build your own DIY system using Arduinos...details can be found on our website.

Good luck with your project.
