Robot Leonardo under construction

A motorised wheelchair base it incorporates the original motors and the joystick controller.

Its design allows components to be removed so that modifications and tests can be carried out quiet easily.

Simply fabulous, great color. I like the wheel chair base who makes it and what is the model number. Also just out of curiosity, how long will it run and how long does it take to charge. Sorry for all the questions but I really like your disign.

@bravia did you paint that case to match? That's awesome. So what is the beacon for? Is this a outdoor robot or indoor? Is the beacon used for the robot to "see" which direction home is? I'm just curious how you are utilizing it. I have several IR sensors on the back of my robot for the future use of backing up to a charging area by my desk following a single IR beacon.

Re Beacon First of all the Beacons works in pairs, one is fitted on Leonardo and I hold the second one so the Robot will track my location ,eg I remain stationary and say the "left sensor" on robot detects IR the robot will turn left , once the "front sensor" detects IR the robot will move forward
Take a look here it explains how it workshttp://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/701

Re colour Its the original CTM Power Chair model HS5600

Specs (original) Travel Range 25 miles 2 x 12 volt batteries charging takes 2-3 hours,but I never fully discharge

Note EZ-B is not connected as second EZ-B on dome is used for test easier to access, eventually this card will operate all functions. I intend to possibly place the chair back on the base and have a wii strapped on ones arm to move forward reverse left & right. But can' wait to integrate the Mindwave Headset .
