Task 1 - Five Youtube Videos on Arduino Robots

Below is an arduino-based robot that can detect walls. It uses modified servos, which gives it continuous rotation and a Sharp IR Range finder. The continuous rotation could be interesting to use, as it will allow movement constantly without a controller. The link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo9m5PXjKks or blog http://bunedoggle.com/robots.php.


Here is another example of an arduino based robot. It is quite hard to see what it is doing, however I think it must have similar sensors as the last robot. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyvms5BDLw4


This is the coolest robot yet. It finds targets that are nearby and shoots rubberbands at them (in this case cups). This also uses servos and every quarter turn fires a rubberband and also uses a Sharp IR Range finder. Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBV-hF9AVDk&feature=related





Below is another Arduino powered robot. However this moved by a Wii Nunchuck. This is very cool and just follows the movement of the Nunchuck. It uses servos for movement, however couldn't find to much more information about it, but apparantly there is alot online about link an Arduino to Wii Nunchuck. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlukl5fLi7s&feature=related





Here is another example of a nunchuck and arduino robot. However this one has a camera on it and can be moved around, when the z button is clicked, the camera is locked on. This is very cool and is also using servos. It appears almost everything I have looked at is using servos. Link:
