Clive - A small rug-warrior style robot

Clive

Clive is a robot that I've been building, with a lot of help from Phil Preston in the time I'm supposed to be spending on my PhD.

Clive runs on some remaindered rechargeable batteries, and consists of a number of levels. The levels are made from light perspex, hand cut and shaped for this robot. The first level houses batteries, a Tamiya dual-motor gearbox, and the antennae. The antennae are bend sensors that are most frequently used in the PowerGloves I used for my PhD (no I did not pull apart a PowerGlove to get at them).

The next level up houses a 6.270 board (based on the 68HC11 microcontroller) that runs a version of the C language. Also, the charging ports for the batteries are on this level.
