Parts

The three main parts are OOPic, wall sensor, and Lego motors.

We are using a OOPic as the robot's brain. OOPic is an acronym for Object-Oriented Programmable Integrated Circuit. It is the first programmable micro-controller / PVC that uses an object-oriented language. It's developed by Savage Innovations.

For our wall-detecting sensors, we have chosen SFH5110-38. SFH5110-38 is a IR remote control receiver produced by Infineon. It is capable of detecting 38kHz IR signals.

The motors we are using are from the Lego Brainstorm set provided to us by our department.(The creator of Lego Brainstorm set is Fred Martin). To drive these motors, we are using an L298M H-bridge motor driver.
