Progress in the beetle bots

The creation of the beetle bots have taken more time than we thought it would. We now have the materials needed to create them, but the wiring is not working as its suppose to, or at least what we hoped they would. We are now haveing to risk one bot, in hope to fix this problem. This is probably the last day that we work on the beetle bots, so we're tring to get them patched up and ready to go.

Today we have been working on two bettle bots. One of them which is almost done.
During the creation of this bots, we have had a bit of troubles with the wireing. It is taking us a while to get all of the materials needed to finish building the bots, due to that fact we are shorted in things to do! Wr are currently working on three robots:

The bettle bots
The Wireless tracker
Programming with the Raspberry pie

We are hopeing to be finish with all of this projects by the end of the year, if we do not finish earlier  :D

Programming for Raspberry Pi

Hello,

During the Robotics Club, we were discussing which programming language we should use for the Raspberry Pi and it seems that we can use either C++ or the Assembly Language. Mainly we will use C++ in our club since that was the conclusion we came to as a group but if anyone wants to learn the Assembly Language I found a good site from Cambridge University. This lesson is made specifically for Raspberry Pi so it could be very useful.

Also, if anyone wants to start learning C++, it might be a good idea to start here:

Our First Simple-Bot

So here is our first little robot. It's name is Nuts because of the revolutionary technology of the nut which allowed us to make him vibrate enough, enabling him to move. We also programmed him to make its own decisions. As you can see in this video we are not controlling him ;)
