Feeling Blue

Tags:
Category: Rolling
Cost: $50.00
Time to Build: 10 hrs

Feeling blue was designed and built as en experimental platform to test the PIC16f876 which I had never used before. Feeling Blue is the first robot that I ever built. All of he code was written in assembly.

It is designed to be a line following robot but never really worked that well. The two wheel design caused a lot of problems in trying to keep a constant distance between the ground and the sensors.

All in all the bot was fun to build and taught me a lot about the PIC micros.
