This mini-sumo is controlled by a PIC 16F877 micro-controller. The motors are Micromo 1717 gearmotors, and they are powered through a Texas Instruments SN754410NE one amp dual h-bridge. A single NiMh 9 volt battery provides the power for both the electronics and the motors. The tires & wheels are standard R/C racing tires & wheels for street touring cars. The IR range-finders are Sharp GP2D12 analog sensors.[more]

Sun mirror is a solar powered artbot that uses a popular circuit called a “Solar Engine”. The circuit only uses two transistors, one flashing led, one resistor, one capacitor. Start by connecting your parts on a protoboard to be sure all the parts work together. Fixing a non-working circuit after building it will make a mess of things.[more]

Self-Propelled Toy Car based on PICnome. Shunichi Yamamoto writes:
PICnome is the open-source hardware. So this is not business. my primary job is to study and develop the hardware and software based on chaos and complex systems.

Although this is a first robot built by fritsl a member on LetsMakeRobots. But, I think it is a great DIY robotic for first building. Using Picaxe to drives hacked servos and navigates via ultrasonicย�sensors mounted on a servo. Also shoots “laser” and make sounds.[more]

Puff - The Dragon Enters is a fire fighter robot controlled by Arduino.It consists of 2 geared motors, 1 servo for head scanning, 1 motor with propellor fan, 2 light sensitive Probes.
Gareth writes :
Puff is able to Put out Fires - He Scans his Head to find the Flames - he orientates towards the Flame - and Blows it out.If he fails to blow out the Fire within 2 sweeps then the “PANIC” mode switches in and he backs away to save himself from frying his “Chips”.Puff is an Arduino based tracked autonomus Robotic Vehicle with “Cliff” and “Obstacle” detection.
