This Max '99 uses a simple 300mhz remote control and 900mhz remote camera to navigate around the house. The entire system cost less than $500.00 to build.  This was a big hit at the family get together of the holidays as relatives tried to navigate the robot around the house without hitting anything.

In the future this robot will have a processor deck (HC11 w/ 32K) installed.  The remote control will be used to send "advise" from a remote location.  A second remote transmitter may be installed to send data from the robot to the remote control computer.

Features:

Max 99 Mobile Robot Kit
Ming 300mhz  4 bit parallel remote control
Surplus 900 mhz remote camera and monitor (baby monitor) 
386 Laptop computer (not pictured) using qbasic.
