Introducing Questor.
I put a hold on my large robot project Magnus awhile back due to budget and time constraints. I wanted to have a platform that was way smaller, easy to modify for testing purposes and small enough to roam around inside the house autonomously. Questor will serve as a test platform for systems that will eventually be placed in Magnus. Questor was not intended to be a cool looking robot platform, just functional and very basic in appearance. My main goal is for him to be autonomous with the option of me being able to take over remote control separately if needed. I would like for him to be able to automatically find and connect with his battery charger and to eventually have a good A.I.
So here is a first look at him...
Weird....the pictures below [b]this line were not intended to be here in this first post. When I made the new post below, it saved the pictures in this post also. When I tried to go back and edit them out of this first post they don't show up on the thread so I can delete them. They belong in the post below....see details for the new wheels in the later post.[/b]

Questor Update:
Ordered more parts:
Second EZ-B (I had run out of ports on the first one
)
Second arm (the one from the EZ Robot Store) Now Questor will have two arms....Yay!
Seven more Ping sensors
Six more servo extension cables
Purchased Ultra-Hal A.I. Software (not to happy with it yet)
My list of things to make or install is still pretty long. I'll be so glad when I finally get the hardware side to a point where I am satisfied. Even this small robot
is taking a long time to finish.
That just goes to show: Never let a perfectionist build a robot, he will never finish it .
Anyone else tried the Ultra-Hal A.I. Software from Zabware.com?
Yea you never finish , you just abandon the improvements.
Yeah...you are so right
I believe it was Leonardo DiVinci who said "No work of art is ever completed, only abandoned." Some things I guess, never change
I'm loving Questor Rgordon! Keep it up.
@Antron007- Thanks. A rolling robot gathers no moss.
Don't let grass grow under your feet ... Or wheels lol
