Hey guys, sorry for being absent, just got out of hospital (Pneumonia, 1.5 weeks, bad case of it). Moved and changed jobs, so I'm still settling in and still not feeling 100%. I'll try to be back around more, though.
Happened to me when I took a winter job up north. I was there 2 weeks and got deathly ill. Thankfully we were a big biz and ran the lil town it was in so my boss just called the local doctor and he gave me a script for antibiotics that day. Otherwise I might of had pneumonia.Hey guys, sorry for being absent, just got out of hospital (Pneumonia, 1.5 weeks, bad case of it).

Called Retched yesterday around noon. His voicemails still up but no answer.Missed your post, I go over the lost list and sometimes and ask about members
by name, like Retched and others.
Thanks loosie. Just doing my part to support my family here@ DerStrom8, can't forget you buddy,always there with a good word for everyone.
It is his, I don't get to see it much. I just help with stuff he isn't comfortable with (he's in 7th grade, super glue fumes bother him, crimping the 1x1 connectors, and that's about it). The design and all is his with little tips from me here and there. Most of the wires and breadboard components are held with hot glue, boards with double stick foam tape, and hinged access with the "Industrial" Velcro.Send us some pics of your son's (?) robot.
On the top it is just a SRF05 Type Sonar attached to a servo that does sector scans to stay clear of obstacles while it moves. It is a fast servo with metal gears, 5 scan points from straight left to straight right are done in under 1/3 second (with 40mS sonar echo delay at each stop). The measurements then determine if it is approaching an obstacle at a shallow angle and adjust orientation to parallel it if desired. Otherwise it gives everything a wide berth.That is really cool!
What do the "eyes" do? Does the mcu process the video or is it just recorded?
