Improvements and additions

Added a few things, improved on a few things.

There is now a front head light, controllable by the NXT “brain”. Using a Dual Longitudinal Subtractor drivetrain powered by two XL Power Functions motor with one Medium Power Functions motor powering the steering mechanism. Drivetrain connected to two Power Function Battery box. (Drivetrain is incomplete, waiting for differential gear box)

Decided against building a rotating turret. Too much work and I’ve too little mechanical knowledge to design such a thing.

Sensors:

HiTechnic Acceleration/Tilt Sensor

HiTechnic IRLink Sensor

HiTechnic EOPD Sensor

HiTechnic Compass Sensor

Weight : 1.8kg

Dimensions: 40cm (Length) x 20cm (Width) x 14cm (Height)

Time to start programming.
