I found this green dome at a surplus store, and KNEW I needed to make a robot out of it. t took two years to gether all the parts to make it. The controller is an original MIT Miniboard with the LEDs and connectors cut off so that it fints under the dome.


Components:
  • stepper-motor/gearbox direct drive.
  • (4) CdS cells.
  • (2) down-looking IR reflectance sensors.
  • (2) bump switches.
  • Programmed in C using an HC11 C compiler.
