The builder managed to cram three sensor systems (line-following light sensors, sonar, and vision) onto a bot that&#8217;s miniscule. To give you an idea of the size, that&#8217;s a 9-volt battery above the sonar unit. The camera is hacked from the GameBoy camera add-on. It can even pan, thanks to a micro-servo motor. There are three servo motors on this thing: two standard HiTec servos for the drive wheels, and one mini for the camera. The controller is the 68332-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robominds.com\" target=new>Mini Robo-Mind<\/a>, programmed in GNU C. <\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;m hoping to contact the builder to get more details. I&#8217;d love to know more about the control program he coded, and especially, how he uses the camera data. <\/p>\n<p> BTW: If you&#8217;ve read my book, all of the above should make perfect sense to you.
