B2 - Hide & Seek Robot

...and more importantly, an educational platform for me, my kids, and my friends.

This project is not yet complete

This is my ROS project consisting of the custom code for my robot named B2.

B2 is a 2-wheel differential drive robot. Its initial design goal is to create a hide & seek robot that will roam a single floor in a multi-room house looking for a person who is hiding. This goal was suggested by my elementary school-age kids when I was searching for a goal for which to build a robot from scratch.

My daughter picked the name B2. Prior to this robot, we build a light-follower robot partially following a design from the author of Robot Builder's Bonanza. That first robot she named Beddo, from a scene in Despicable Me 2. Therefore she wanted this robot to be named B2.
