Getting Back Into Robotics and Stuff,

Long time no post here, so I thought I start documenting what I do on here (well the hobby stuff anyway - do not want to risk posting my research on here incase it gets thieved!

My micromouse, MicroChimp has had its day and I can not be bothered to rebuild the electronics for a stepper motor platform mouse. So i took the plunge and purchased some Faulhaber motors. i then machined some bearing mounts with my dad out of alluminium. That was some time ago, and I have finally started to design a PCB... Below is a model of the rough layout and my bearing mounts/wheel assemblies so far.















On another note I have started finishing the talk box, as can be seen below in its early days. Gluing carpet on it and getting some chrome corner pieces. Placed a little 10 watt amp inside to drive the speaker.
