Scout is a printable tribot designed for teaching the Boy Scout robotics merit badge. http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/MeritBadges/mb-ROBO.aspx
I've marked this as a derivative of MiniSkyBot because I was inspired by it and because Scout still uses the wheels from that project.
The frame itself is a complete redesign with similar but different goals.
Goals:
Provide a kit that meets the merit badge requirements with parts totaling < $50 USD.
-Minimum printed parts
-Minimum vitamins
-Accommodate an arduino diecimila or nano.
-use a 9V battery.
-Flexible enough to allow boys to improve and extend the design.
The frame is a single printed piece. The tabs for holding the servo motors can be tapped with a 4mm tap to avoid the need for nuts.
The top holes can be tapped with a 3mm tap to screw on an arduino without nuts.
The bracket will hold a 9v battery with just friction. The rear battery bracket has a friction fit cup for a b
