Picaxe

Picture
This is the Picaxe 28X1 that I used to program the Robot. I also used a seperate 4.5V power supply for the Picaxe so there is no voltage drop.


Ultrasonic sensor

Picture
Here i used 3 ultrasonic sensors for sensing the left,right and front walls of the maze. I used a piece of angle and washers I had left over from a job I had done at home as the bracket to minimise the cost.
