Propeller QuadRover Robot

This gas-powered robot is built using a Honda 2.5 HP 4-stroke engine and hydraulic power system. It is controlled by a Propeller chip for the ultimate in customizable robots; eight 32-bit cogs at 20 MIPS each create endless programming possibilities. A 64 KB EEPROM leaves 32 KB for non-volatile data storage, and ample expansion ports provide plenty of flexibility for added sensors.

Four solenoid valves allow for the hydraulic power to be independently enabled, disabled, or reversed for either side of its skid steer system.

Stingray Robot

The Stingray robot from Parallax Inc. provides a mid-size platform for a wide range of robotics projects and experiments.

The Propeller Robot Control Board is the brains of the system providing a multiprocessor control system capable of performing multiple tasks at the same time.

The Propeller chip provides eight 32- bit processors each with two counters, its own 2 KB local memory and 32 KB shared memory.

This makes the Propeller a perfect choice for advanced robotics and the Stingray robot.

SumoBot Robot

If you think one robot is interesting, wait until you see two of them battling for control Sumo-style. The SumoBot® Robot is a competition-ready robot designed within the Northwest Robot Mini-Sumo Tournament rules. This little pusher will locate and knock its opponent right out of the ring while detecting the outside circle should an escape move be necessary.

Scribbler Robot

The Scribbler robot arrives pre-programmed with eight demo modes, including light-seeking, object detection, object avoidance, line-following, and more. Place a marker in the Pen Port and the Scribbler will draw as it drives.

Make your own programs for the Scribbler in two formats: build programs from picture-tiles with the Scribbler Program Maker GUI software, or write text-base programs with the BASIC Stamp Editor software.
