Table Follower Upgrade

Welcome back everyone! As promised, I’ve upgraded my table following robot. It took a little longer than I expected but it’s finally done.

The upgrades are mainly custom PCBs and a mechano chassis. A third unexpected upgrade is that I’ve used an Arduino board.

Cookie the Table Following Robot – Tutorial

I’m back again for another tutorial on robots. This one will be on the table following robot of which a video was posted earlier. For those who haven’t seen it, here is the video again (Wish I had a larger table 😦 ):

Coming Soon… A Table Following Robot

Introducing Cookie – the table following robot. I will be posting a tutorial on how to build one of these yourself. Keep checking!

Features to be added later:

• Obstacle detection.
• Manual Control

My aim is to build a robot that is remote controlled. However, if it encounters an obstacle or the edge of the surface on which it is moving, the robot takes control of itself and moves away from the obstacle or turns to avoid falling from the edge. However I will post on building just the table follower first.
