Description: ARDA Bot is a small circular wooden robot, that unlike most of my robots is made almost entirely of wood.  On it's front are 2 SPDT switches attached to bumpers so it knows wen it runs into something.  When it runs into something it turns and runs away.  Pretty simple, yet amusing to set free on the kitchen floor.
    It got it's name ARDA Bot because a company called
ARDA (Advanced Robotic Design Association) paid for it.  This was my first ever robot and I learned almost everything I know about electronics from it and ARDA.
Sorry, but I don't have any pictures as of yet.  I'm trying to get a hold of a digital camera or scanner to post them.
