I made this robot in order to carry heavy loads from one location to another. Basically, I want to make a cheap DIY version of high-tech GPS-based robots which are used in industries.
Thanks UTSOURCE.net to offer electronic components for this project!
you can check UTSOURCE.net, they deal in all kinds of electronic components, for example, Arduino board, DC motor driver, and many more.
I've made many changes in its body (you can clearly see that in videos and images).
It works and I have even uploaded a test video on YouTube.
It's incomplete at this point
