Failed attempt at making a light following robot

Category: By suresh13
In an attempt to make a line following robot, something went horribly wrong. At first i thought i had wired the motors wrong, cuz all it was doing was making rounds. After switching the motor wiring, i ended up it being worse. Now the rounds were even tighter. Reverting back to the original wiring, i finally realised, even though the 2 motors were identical looking, it was spinning at 2 very different speeds.

The result, a 'dumb-dog' robot... chasing its tail. Hahah! Enjoy the failure video.

    Dude, I know the feeling. I've done the same thing myself. Did you ever get it working?

    Haha.. no. Chucked it aside and got on to other stuff. Am waiting for my servo motors to arrive. Cheers :)
