TwinMotion - 1

TwinMotion 1, 2009-03-01
General: Since I needed a stronger platform, but didn't want to spend 300-400$ on commercial offers, I've built my own, strong, customizable robot platform FROM SCRATCH!
Platform: Big 28 cm diameter light wooden wheels, two geared (30rpm) strong motors , some metal pieces and screws. To fix the wheels on the motor-heads, I've created a custom bearing, out of some tick small diameter metal pipe.

Hardware: Robot "brain" under development, currently I've used it with my AtMega8 H-Bridged board, available here.
Block Schematics: Not yet available.
Functionality: Not yet available.
Pictures and videos

This video shows the platform in action, controlled by a simple ATMega8 microcontroller brain, that was only giving simple movement commands : forward x cm, turn left, move backwards x cm, turn left/right, etc.

General: Wheels needed better adjustment on motor axis, and I've decided to add a third wheel for stability, since running on two wheel can make the fixed-body turn upside down - and would create problems when using various environment sensors.
Platform:
A third wheel has been added.
Hardware: Currently the experimental setup is running on the same Atmega8 board.

Here's a demo showing this platform, you can easily see how powerful it is, considering the complete setup is ~2 Kg weight.
