Calbot Contest

Here are some pictures of my Coolest Calbot. Fall 2002

Features:

• Position control: move in one of the four directions depending on the number of clapping detected. The top view shows the circuit I built manually for this purpose.
   
• Remote position control: bought a little remote control car in flee market and transplanted its remote control on my Calbot.
   
• Sonar obstacle detection: avoid obstacles 50cms away.
   
• 3-way path finding: once obstacle is detected, it returns left-45°and right-45°, measure the distances of the obstacles in both directions. Then it chooses the to move in the direction whichever has obstacle further away.
