My latest demo robot for a Automation club I belong too, thought people here might get some use out of it too - since I used a Launchpad MSP432 board :-) http://www.instructables.com/id/Obstacle-Avoidance-Robot-Using-TI-Launchpad-MSP432/

Researchers from University of Lincoln published a paper on their 25 quid design, 4 cm mini robots for swarm applications. It looks like comprised of one 168 and one 644 in the design. Video Paper PDF http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs-wm/47293.pdf Looks lovely to see them gather around the light source.

I've finally gotten around to documenting the Cardboard Hovercraft build to such a detail that anyone else can build one. Since it has a bluetooth/wireless control component, I'll be documenting it at hackaday.io

Recently finished my first msp430 based robot, a Basic Light seeker! This was a project to get me to learn more about the MSP430 microcontroller. In this project specifically, using multiple ADC inputs and PWMs ( 2 PWMs was a little tricky on the MSP430G2452 but eventually got it ). The robot turns according to the difference between the light values on the left and right, using two Photoresistors/LDRs. The robot is powered my a set of 4 to 5 NiMH 1.2-1.4V batteries which directly power the l293d Motor Driver IC and DC motors, and is also fed into a LP2950-33 3.3V LDO to provide re

OK, I'm pretty new to the BBB and my background is in programming not electronics. I would really like to setup the BBB as a robotic arm controller. The arm I'm looking at is the Lynxmotion AL5D 4 Degrees of Freedom Robotic Arm. http://www.robotshop.com/en/lynxmotion-al5d-robot-arm-combo-kit-4-dof.html#Multimedia Is the BBB capable of controlling this 4-axis robot? I would assume I need a cape to do this but can't determine if an existing one would work. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Just found out that Target has a really cool christmas giftcard this year. Between Target and Bestbuy, you can always get nice free stuff. The "Draw and Go" Giftcard at Target is a Line following robot, shaped like a bone car. It has four LR44 batteries (two for 3v to the driver, two for 3v to the motors), two infrared transmit leds and receive leds, a few j3y smd transistors, two metal weights a unlabled 8 pin soic chip (Comparator? MCU?) and two independently geared and controlled motors in a single package. This thing is perfect as a little robot car platform. Or get two or four
