Sami

Semi Autonomous Mobile Instigator

SAMI Semi Autonomous Mobile Instigator. Built on a Parallx StingRay robot chassis with a Parallax Robot controller. It's an ROV with a laser pointer to entertain my dog Sampson. Has an Xbee, an RC receiver, RC capable motor controller, laser pointer, ping sensor mounted on servos providing range and angle data via Xbee radio.

Pulled my old robot, Sami, off the shelf. Been sitting up there for a while ehh? I plan to convert it to using a BeagleBone Blue running ROS
