The CE Bot rover is just a cut down version of a lunar robot. When Big K first announced the Google Lunar X Prize, we all got pretty excited, and thought that we can design our own lunar robot. However, it will be a more realistic project if we made a normal rover that has real life applications, such as search and rescue, as well as recon. Its very fortunate that Xheavenlyx has an old laptop that we can use as the brain.

If CE Bot is successful, it will be a great contribution to the society We aim to make the process of creating the Bot as open as possible, so others can duplicate it for their research purposes.

^_^ Yes, I'm aware of what modular means. Didn't you say it would have a camera? Like, maybe for detecting objects in the way. I liked the idea of the virtual map.
I'm sorry if I'm being annoying about this. I'm just trying to get this straight about how I should sketch this out.
(Lmao. Time to break out the compass. . . protractor. . . )

Yep, the camera will be the sensor for image collection. Its the most important sensor on CE Bot, since we will transmit the video (pre- or post- processed) to another computer across a wireless connection.

Annoying? Nah, its good to keep asking questions to clarify

Have you seen the previews of the movie WALL-E? Its something like that robot, except a little more simpler, smaller and has wheels.

Yes. . . I saw the previews. I wanted to go see the movie.
And ok. . . I've got so many designs to work on right now, it's not even funny.

You are in no pressure Tyler, just don't forget to do it or take so much time that we forget you were to do something....take your own sweet time. I know that sometimes the ideas don't come and the mind becomes blank or sometimes so many ideas come that you are unable to decide which is the best.

Oki doki folks, this thread will be closed. Good to see CE Bot progressing at a relatively quick pace. Thank you all for your valuable contributions
