Howdy, my names Ethan and I've created this blog to keep track of my progress during my EPQ project. There's no prizes for guessing what that is, Robotics!
What I'm planning to do is purchase both a RaspiRobot Board and the Magician Chassis, and put them both together in to a simple programmable robot. As easy as that, I hope. The tutorials I'm going to use are those by Simon Monk (https://github.com/simonmonk/raspirobotboard).I'm going to make the basic robot, then maybe go for something more impressive and try to add a Ultrasonic sensor or something along those lines to try to make it a little more exciting!
The idea behind my project is using the Raspberry Pi to try and create a simple robot. The Raspberry Pi is a extremely versatile and popular way of getting coding out to the masses. I purchased my Model B Raspberry Pi board back when they first came out and there was a 2 month waiting list! If you want to know more about the Raspberry Pi go to their website www.raspberrypi.org.
