This is my first robot that is being made as a project for a class at my high school. This robot follows the rules of the Trinity Home Robot Fire Fighting Contest, and will be entered in contest next year.
In this robot I use an OOPic as the microcontoller (mcu). You can look at the features of this mcu at www.oopic.com. I also use a lazy susey turntable for my base. I connected two half circle metal pieces together screwing them onto the turntable. I use pneumatics from clippard to raise the robot off the ground to turn with a HS-55 servo from HobbyTown USA. For wall detection I use 2 GP2D12 ir range detectors, and a SRF04-2 ultrasonic sensor facing forwards, and ir to the sides.
