In September of 2000, two senior high school students at the Specialized Learning
Center for Science and Engineering at Manalapan built an analog light follower
based on the 1950s W. Grey Walter Robot, "Elsie." Built on a Robodyssey Mouse
chassis with modified Hi-Tec servos, 'Analog Mouse' used, phototransistor sensors
and Darlington pairs to control the DC motors instead of tubes. It was demonstrated
at the 'Robot Madness Day' at Manalapan High School in June of 2001. |
