This circuit is used to create a simple "edgebot" sumo robot. Being an edgebot refers that it will repeat the same backup/turn/go forward action when it's single edge sensor detects the edge of the ring. This version of the circuit is quite simple, and always turns the same way.
ScoutWalker III
Dave Hrynkiw
December 3, 2004
As those who've already received our new catalog already know, Solarbotics has officially released the ScoutWalker III upon the masses!
We developed this walker kit based on criteria generated by ourselves and Solarbotics' distributor Steve Jones at "Bug'n'Bots". Steve wanted something new to feature at the ECRG workshops, and the ScoutWalker III is the results!
We're rushing ahead with production, but quantities are limited, especially if you want one before Christmas!
Oh, and I have to mention the ScoutWalker III as a Scoutwalker 3 (K W3 or SW3) so our search engine will pick it up for future news searches...
