Yard Bot
What do you do with some scooter chair motors, big casters, and a sheet of MDF? Make a radio controlled Yard Bot of course! I’ve had the various pieces for this project kicking around for a while. Finally took the time to put them all together. Just something to play around with…
2020 Bot at Bay Area Maker Faire 2017

2020 Bot Motor Choices
Experiments continue on the 2020 Bot! The robot on the left was built using the ubiquitous 28BYJ-48 geared stepper motors and ULN2003 drivers. The robot on the right uses the famous yellow gearboxes plus brush motors with an L9110S dual motor driver board. Which one should I use for the 2020 Bot?
