A project log for Coin finding Star Wars mouse droid

A simple robot to find coins (beneath furniture etc.) based on the robots from the early Star Wars films :-P

So I think we underestimated how much free time we would have (at the same time as each other) despite having expected little. We are going to continue working on this project despite missing the Sci-Fi Contest deadline.

I have finished my courses for my BEng Mechanical Degree and am just busy getting my Final Year Project done and we're both on holiday now so may find a bit more time.

We got together recently and went through what we had compared to what we wanted the bot to do. We are sticking with the sound based location and are going to use the motors (with a 2222N transistor based motor driver I'm yet to design properly) and avoidance components of my Cybot and replace it's line following component with our coin sensor.
