Hi everyone! You'll all be amazed to hear, I finally made a robot! (With my dad...).

I've always wanted to make a little buggy bot that goes around the house doing stuff.. so.. here he is!! Sorta...

He's got a long way to go. My dad says we have to start simple, or it'll never get done... I still think it needs lasers first. How else will it fight the evil dust bunny empire???

Anyways, he uses two solorbotics motors my grandma bought me for a present, a happy blue arduino for it's brain (not in the picture, my dad stole it for his piano thing...) and an adafruit (go ladyada!) motor shield I helped solder together!

So, for right now, he doesn't have a name, OR lasers, or any way to SEE.. I have to save up my allowance for some ping sensors.. or.. something. I think I want him to talk. My dad also helped me make an adafruit wave shield, so I could make it talk.. but. .i still need to think of something for him to say.. hmm

How about "I am the dust bunny killer.. yarrr!!!"..

Here's my sock monkey Izabell riding my new robot off road!! Go Izzy! (not really... without the arduino, the bot doesn't go too far :P)

So if anyone out there has some cool ideas for a name for my robot, let me know! I love to get comments!
