Welcome, this website is dedicated to providing as much information as possible on how to build robots.
Snuffy's A description of my Firefighting robots built for the Trinity college firefighting contest.
PID Some information on writing PID style control laws for robotic speed and steering control.
Directional Gyro Building a directional gyro using a MEMS yaw rate gyro
Ebot How to build a simple beginning robot called "Ebot"; a project of our local robotics club, the Robotics Society of Southern California (RSSC) rssc.org.
Construction hints Some hardware and software designs I have used
Links a few interesting sites
Recent changes to this site include:
13 Sept 2004 Ah, another year. Mostly added picture of Rocky and links to his website. I've also added a link above to an article on building a directional gyro which was originally published in the Seattle Robotics Society Encoder.
12 Jun 2003 I haven't updated in a year or so, so everything is recent. I added some more details on my firefighting robots of the last 2 years and rearranged the sites layout. I've added quite a bit to the Construction hints section.
