So you want to build a robot?
summary
Builds a semi‑autonomous “Batbot” for about $400 using an Arduino Uno with a Boe‑Bot chassis shield, an XBee wireless link, a PS3 DualShock for manual control, a MaxBotix ultrasonic on a 180° servo for sensing, and Johnny‑Five plus the temporal library for JS control. Logic uses a simple wall‑follower: read left/forward/right, move toward the furthest gap. Assembly uses hot glue; demo hesitates but ultimately navigates out of a paper bag.
