The BFF Wi-Fi Bot is my first attempt at robot building so you'll need to excuse its appearance. Over the years I've bought lots of parts and components from robot builder suppliers for the electric vehicles on the site but I've never actually used any of them in a robot.
The BFF Wi-Fi Bot, as its name suggests, is a robot that can be remotely controlled over your standard home Wi-Fi network from a joystick attached to a fixed PC. It uses a small on-board notebook style laptop computer to do this, however if you do not have an spare laptop it could be driven using wireless serial links from the fixed PC. The usual form of remote robot control uses RC transmitters and receivers but wireless networks are becoming increasingly common in homes everywhere and I thought I'd try this. The transmission protocols used should allow the robot to be driven over the wider internet but I haven't tried this yet.
