First of all, I am new to BEAM and this group so a big hello to everyone.
Anyway, I was playing with the SChead circuit and at the last minute decided to turn it into a photovore. Photos and details can be found at http://robots.acmerhino.com
What do you think... a new subspecies or just a freak of nature ?

wow! that's a really nice job! i have a few questions/comments. 1) could you take some pictures or explain the motors and motor mounting? i can see they're...
Thanks, I just updated the photos on the site and included a "dead- bug" view. Everything is built around a piece of stripboard (pcb laid out like breadboard)....
Welcome aboard Darren! Your Dozer page looks great! I took the liberty to make up a schematic for Dozer v1. As always, one good idea deserves another and a...

... thanks! ... actually, i thought they were big, but i just got one, and they are tiny! not very big at all. exactly this big: ********************* ...
Darren, while I do like the credit, it really isn't based on my design. If you took SChead4 and attached a pair of grounded motors, the behavior is as follows:...
Thanks for the comments, I saw your name on the circuit I used so I thought it would be rude not to give you credit. I didn't find the illusive iVore circuit...

Actually dozer does look awesome. Maybe I'll build one myself. I was already thinking of building a bot that looked like that. I guess I know what to do next...

The chip for Dozer/CarniVore V1 is a 74x14 (replace x with HC, AC or whatever). It would probably be simpler for all of us if I just wrote the pin numbers on a...
