Ro! Ro! Ro-botic Boat

Ro! Ro! Ro-botic Boat on a not so gentle Lake Tahoe!

Ken Gracey posted this video of his latest project on the Blockly for Microcontrollers Facebook page. He writes, "I'm working on an interesting project with a robotic boat in Lake Tahoe. This project will show that BlocklyProp can be used for serious projects in research. Today's test was for the boat, motors and battery system, which function very well. I used the Propeller Activity Board to intercept the RC signals and mix them for the brushless motor thrusters."


The description on the YouTube video says it is a, "Brief test of a robotic boat I plan on using to navigate Lake Tahoe under GPS guidance to collect data at different waypoints. The kinds of data I could collect include pH, temperature, turbidity, chemical concentrations, etc. This system will be programmed entirely in BlocklyProp by www.parallax.com."
