David has also suggested to me a [Build Sequence|BuildSequence] which is a pretty good action plan for anyone building robots. As someone who's had a bit of trouble focusing on getting my
robot going (there's just sooo much to learn!), his advice is greatly appreciated.

The SR04 was conceived around the following very loose design criteria:

# Survive in a wide range of (cluttered) human environments autonomously and continuously, without getting stuck.
# Provide a robust and reliable platform for developing navigation and behavior software.
# Be entertaining and aesthetic for the local human population.

The robot controller is a Motorola HC6811 microprocessor running in an M.I.T. 6.270 board. This card was developed for the introductory robotics course taught at M.I.T. It provides the HC6811 processor with 32k of battery-backed RAM, 32 eight-bit A/D channels, hardware 40khz IR , 6 one-amp H-Bridge (L293) motor driver channels, an LCD readout, and some digital I/O ports for timer and output compare functions useful to robot builder-types.
