Front view.

You can see the frame is made
of two plastic project boxes.
It has a pan/tilt head on top.
0903_07.jpg
You can see that it uses gell
cell batteries and has a
controller on top.
0903_09.jpg
This is the Parallax
controller board.
0903_10.jpg
There is a Basic Stamp
controller on the front. It
looks like it might be used
as a servo position
controller.
0903_11.jpg
This board is also on the
front. Looks like transistor
drivers.
0903_12.jpg
There is a relay board in the
middle somewhere. Probably to
run the motors.
0903_13.jpg
The pan/tilt head has some IR
illumination and possibly an
IR detector. There may be
other sensors there that I
can't see.

Someone is making this robot.
0903_14.jpg
It has a controller on top. I
think this was an Atmel
processor.
0903_19.jpg
The controller and the user
interface.
0903_15.jpg
It uses Solarbotics motors
and wheels. There is also a
ball caster in the back.

Top view.
0903_17.jpg
It has photo detectors on the
front for line following. The
pots adjust the sensitivity
of the detectors.
