Seperating the conjoined twins

A project log for Lean, but BEAM

My first take on creating a robot. Nothing fancy with just a bumper to detect collisions, but a good learning experience... maybe :)

First of all: Go easy on me, i usually don't document my projects at all (brain-childs, kind of) and english isn't my native language.

Now, with that out of the way:

Finally got the chassis for my robot:

It's a simple acrylic frame with 4 DC-Motors, Gearbox included.

And that's what i ended with after building my version:

(Picture above shows wired Motors connected to a simple L298-Motor Driver at the top and a Pi Zero W at the bottom)

Since i got 4 Motors, i decided to go with two prototypes: One for trying things out (like new sensors etc) and the other one is meant for tweaking the code and maybe for showing it around.

And no, for now i don't really care for the look of it, so i kept the covering on the frames

Care to guess who's who? :)
