Leo has front bumpers now

Well, couldn't find the small hinges I needed for the bumpers, so I had to improvise. Seems that soda cans are useful for makeshift parts. I'd joked about using one for the hinges, but didn't think I was going to have to resort to such. Working on the rear bumper now and hopefully will get it done tonight so that I can do some more coding. Hopefully, tomorrow can work on the range finders. I need one more for the rear, but all is good.

Research, research and more research

Ok, been looking for code, specifically the kind in regarding using the Ardiuno's built PWM, reading encoders, motor control, and bumper switches. I can't wait till the board comes in next week. I need to make a short shopping list for components and before I go by Fry's and pick up some misc. parts this next week.

So far I have:

Tracked bot body(needing mods)
AtMega368 (on it's way)

So far I need:

L298 H-Bridge and components
Cheap Mouse
Material for the body modifications

Right now the plan is going to be to get Leo moving and running into stuff.

That's all for now
