I don't know if this will work, but here is a youtube link. This was my first attempt at uploading a video there. The file was done on an Galaxy Tablet, at 122 MB, I figured DJ would prefer it not take up space on his server.
Dogbot has a bit of User operator error, but with a little more training It'll be run much soother. Next phase is to pickup a few more Servos to add a better head, and a left arm. At somepoint the wife (our resident knitter) will make a red sweater for the dog, so DogBot can track her. Given the reliablity issues involved with color tracking though, I'm leaning more toward RFID tracking.

Id like to introduce you to my Brookstone Rover/EZ-B Robot. My goal with this bot was to stretch my legs with the ARC...

Dunning-Kruger's Is There A Halloween Contest This Year?
I thought I would lighten things up around here by giving you all a sneak peek of my possible Halloween contest...
Dave that was ultra cool!
I would like a closeup of your arms and hands. And, where did you get them? did you build them? Or, are they were part of a toy. It looks like some use of PVC pipe. I like it!

The Body is PVC Pipe. The Arm is Lego parts. The base is 1/16th scale Tiger Tank.
I do have to give credit to my Son on putting together the Lego arm, he did it at 2:00 AM. I then hack his Lego parts to the two Servos.
Just for ease. Very nice great job.
ThankS, I'll have to look into doing this for future posts.
Hey Dave thats a fun bot!!
Are you using the l298 motor controller?
Thanks DJ. I'm using a Sabertooth 2x5 Controller. The motors pull 3 amps when running full speed.
By the way, is there a way to adjust the speed via a slider control or joystick?
Sweeeeet!
