I made a arduino line following robot.
for the line sensor i used a 5 sensor polou ir sensor array

for the servo power I used 6v
and for the arduino a 9v

the servo power is connected with a switch so i can control when they can move. (allows programming easily)

i used a motor shield because i want to expand on this project.

the parts list is:
Acrylic base
Two continuous rotation servos
One arduino duemilanove
One motor shield
One switch
One polou 8 sensor array (split into 6)
Two wheels
A servo mount
Battery pack
9v battery
4 rechargable triple a's
Lots of screws
A 13 year old

The pictures are high quality so i cant upload them or them

WHy was this moved???

 

Can a admin tell me why this thread was moved?
