Ok it does not always turn right it just seems that way in this video. I basically made modules of code and tested each one.
One module for example makes a measurement from my $10.00 dollar sensor mounted on the head. When this measurement is within a threshold of danger the code goes to the next module that asks where to go.
This “where to go module”, say well sweep the head up, down, left and right looking for an open spot to move into. Once found the robot moves there.
More is coming soon. I want a better chassis slightly larger so I can put a bigger battery, preferably a car battery. Also I am working on more modules (sensors and logic) testing each one and in essence challenging my understanding of electronics.
Ill put up another video some time tonight or tomorrow.

I programmed it in PBasic. The compiler is located here http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/down ... _stamp.asp
The language is super easy to learn and tons of support.

Might be boring to some but to the few out there that are interested i have another video of the robot project.

Still need to modify the program and i have a new chassis in mind to allow for a bigger battery
PEACE
