Chibots

Tagbot one is a behavior robot for demonstrations.  Tagbot will stay within an area defined by a line of white tape. Tagbot will wander within the arena until it runs into another Tagbot, which causes Tagbot to stop and wait. If another tagbot runs into it again, it will resume wandering.

The plan is to have around 6 tagbots running together.

Mini-Sumo (500g) bot built from scratch with a lot of parts I had just laying around, hence the name. Features a custom designed PCB, powered by a PIC 16F876A microprocessor, code written in Hi-Tech PICC.

Yeah, I know it's hideous but it's my first bot. :)
