This is my BASIC STAMP II project attempt.
Please E-mail if you have any questions.

The R2TAUPO uses two modified drive
servos for 360 degree operation.
(This link will show you how to
modify a standard model airplane servo
to make a robot drive system)

The brains are a BASIC STAMP II
chip with a motherboard
that i designed.Source code found
here.
R2TAUPO.TXT
It contains a 7805 power supply,
and enough
header pins for 8 servos and 8
general control pins, lights,
speakers, sensors, etc.

The slanted drive wheel design
allows the robot to roll and steer with
only two wheels. (model airplane
wheels)
The head rotates 180 degrees (standard
servo), and contains leds and Infrared motion
detection. (Got the
head from a Kentucky Fried Chicken promo glass)
This allows R2TAUPO to avoid objects,
and make decisions
to locate a clear path to follow.
R2TAUPO has a speaker and amp
for sound output.
The power source is a 7.2v rechargable
hobby battery.
Just added speech board and software routine. (code
updated)
Schematic and foil pattern will be here soon............
