Robot Mania III: Building Up The Hardware

Hello...Let's get started with it !

Firstly, I started to assemble the stacks of CDs into three different layers to clearly differentiate the major parts; gearbox (lowest), power supply(second layer), sensors and portable stations(third layer) and microcontroller (final layer).








Attach the servo motor to one side of the top discs. I am just using a double sided tape for this.







On the second layer, I have connected for soldered components by using bronze thingy. There are motor driver, variable resistor, positive and negative rails male connector and a servo motor connector.








Ultrasonic ranging sensor module is attached on top of the servo’s arm. The appearance of the incomplete robot before jumper wires are connected: top view , front view ;side view.







Self-made motor shield is placed on the microcontroller ‘s board as a trial model.








 Next, they are grouped together and placed on the top layer.









At this point, I have made a mini robot with all of my recycled parts and useful electronic components. Next blog, I will complete every electrical connections as well as the programming code. 

Thank you.
