RobotEdh has spent quite some time building himself a chipKIT powered robot. Based on the Baron robot from DFRobot this monster is so packed with features it's a wonder it doesn't collapse under its own weight. Camera, IR sensors, encoders, touch sensors, temperature sensor, LCD screen, WiFi and X-Bee communications. So many things, in fact, that there is no way you could get it all working together on an Arduino. Indeed, he had to upgrade from an Uno32 to a MAX32 because he ran out of Flash memory the project was so big! He has even written a great Java application for controlling it all. I think this project deserves a big Thumbs Up from us at chipKIT for such an impressive bit of engineering and design!
