Roboray - coin picker extrordinaire!!

Uhh.. its a flashy name for my first robot but anyway!!Robot making is really awesome.. it combines the various discplines of engineering. U need to know electronics u need to know how to machine ur parts u need to now mechanics u need to know programming to program it. It seems truly captivating and intelectually engaging project..Heres wat im gonna do. mine is a remote controlled robot that picks up metallic coins.. kinda very simple but its my first robot! but this should be challenging.. Right now i thought of using an electromagnet for picking up and a differential 2 motor drive for steering. Its crappy jargon for basically two wheels driven by two motors. one motor stop, one motor run, the robot turns. when both motor run, robo move forward. All the ideas are ready and i made a rough drawing and circuit design.








so i went and got parts.. i really dono wat will work and wat wont but i managed to get the motors gears wheels and switches.. have to assemble them on a plate.. and hopefully it will work.Ill put up another post once its built.
