my second THRILLING bot

Guys, i enjoyed this second bot too goooooodddddd....
there are lots of experience to share and infact lots of cinematic TWISTS...... while bringing out this second project 
my second project is relating to MATLAB.....
check out this space ..... this experience has lots of...... everything to share with...... i will come to u soon.... bye for now.... 

my first bot

GOD must have become crazy about me.. and  i could not complete my micromouse...
I understood that i should take up a simple task to start with..... and i started making out an 
ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE ..... I learned a lot while making out this ATV.... 
i made lots of plans to sketch the ATV..
first i went with an alluminium open cuboid to make out the frame... but when i came into practical thing it messed up,all the 4 wheels are not touching the base and the ATV is not running as desired...
then i desided to use a plywood-4mm-20*20 to make the base...
now the base is good... and then the real fucking thing came.. "fixing the motors"
i used 4 clamps and attached the motors and now alll the motors are perfect....
the i did a little homework in bringing out the switch control.... it was pretty easy...
and i used 10 cm diameter wheels and 2kg torque motors..
i used 9v/800mA adapter....... this is where i was caught up.... everything was nice...
i expected my ATV would run like a CHEETAH..... but in reality it became a BULLOCKCART..  i could not debug my mistake and i participated with my bullockcart....

obviously......... alas!!!!!! i lose ........... 







After a few days i found that my stupid adapter made me a loser.... i checked my bot performance using a laptop adapter..... Now i found my ATV running like a rajdhani train....
i was happy for that but.....the bad thing was ... it is running too fast that i could not control it....
:-(
then i used some log potentiometers and could control it somehow...
and now i am confident that my ATV will win wherever i go........

and one more thing....... i named my ATV as......PHOENIX.......

Howz that?????? please post ur comments......
it inspires me in writing more experiences like this......
and Guys i lend my helping hand in making ur ATV if u r interested....
