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]

You may know this but others may be not,good to keep signal wires away from power wires and at the same time twist the power wire to block eddy current to block hum and interference. Sometimes you can hunt for days for reset and power interference problems
ANOTHER idea on the large cap add .1 mfd across it ,it helps too (its called a bypass cap)
AT my old work that one of my main jobs to wire up my testers,and AC is a lot harder to block interference
JOSH is that your brother in the orange shirt ,doesnt look too much like you,but hope he does good job building robots. MY brother is a semi-pro football player not into robots.
@robot maker no the dude with the tan is a random spectator. I posted a pic of my brother sitting by Jarvis the other day.
OH it look like your brother using a remote or some control in his hands.
No Fred, this is Josh's brother... He has an Indian name. I will let Josh spell it. I don't want to get the spelling wrong.
THAT one i just seen in another photo of him sitting across from REX,NOW he looks like you but better.

Almost doesn't make any sense going to a fair to show off your design ,with all that noise.
Questor just looks so regal sitting there like that. I love him. That is a lot of noise, but that just means a lot of people going thru.
