A Simple Antweight R/C combat robot-for Intermediate Level

INTRODUCTION:

In this guide u will see how to make a simple ant weight R/C combat robot using a Sabertooth 2X5 R/C. The 'bot doesn't necessarily have to be used in combat - it is a pretty fun toy to drive around the office too! . The Sabertooth 2X5 R/C will be used to interpret signals from a radio control system, and vary the motor speed so you can drive the robot around. The project requires basic knowledge of electronics (Volts, amps, battery polarity and wiring) and intermediate soldering skills.

Parts list:
Sabertooth 2X5 R/C motor driver
Motors,wheels,and chasis
Hobby radio control transmitter and receiver
Batters(atleast 6V)
Ceramic capacitors

Misc wire and soldering tools

Overview


As you can see, power will go from the battery in to the Sabertooth motor driver. The Sabertooth has an internal 5V regulator that it will use to power the receiver. The receiver will pick up your control info i.e. the direction you want to drive in, and it will signal that information back to the Sabertooth. The Sabertooth will then process this information, and vary the voltage and direction going to the motors. We will wire the 2 motors in parallel on each side so they will appear as one motor to the Sabertooth.

The chassis
One of the most time consuming things in building robots is constructing the chassis. If you do not have metalworking machinery available to you, you might want to check out Inertia lab's website . It will allow you to start work on your robot right away without having to deal with metal shavings embedded in your eyes.

Nice little post you have created man. Its good job.

Could please throw some light on non-touch proximity detectors using IR or ultrasonic transducers. It would be great of you if could post the circuits along-side!

And please give me some info about the cost of construction of the sensors.

Thank you,
-Ashok
