SERVO Magazine Article Series: Building Reusable Robotics Software

The RidgeWarrior II is a robot that was developed in a five part tutorial series in SERVO Magazine. The robot is based on the IntelliBrain-Bot kit for its mechanics and electronics. Though the tutorial uses a specific robot, most of the software is designed to be reusable, so it can be used to build other Java-programmed robots.

The entire series of articles is available on CD-ROM Vol 3 of SERVO Magazine.

The following table outlines the series and provides links to the source code and other resources discussed in each article. Source code will be made available as each SERVO issue is published.
