NanoBot

Tags:
Category: Rolling
Progress: Completed
Time to Build: 2 weeks

While waiting for the NXT system to come out, I decided to try my luck at making tiny robots. While Googling, I stumbled across a Yahoo newsgroup for NanoBots based on the MegaBitty controller. I have always been interested in making compact Lego robots, but for obvious reasons, they can only be so small. So, I decided to try my luck and NanoBots. Although I am not sure of the exact definition of a NanoBot, I believe it has specific maximum size limits for competition which is approx. 1 inch cubed (1×1x1).

What did you use for the motors and wheels? I really like the front of the robot - did you design a custom PCB for that? Have you won any competitions? :)
