  • choose a grid size and calculate the requirements for navigating the Hackspace - could do dynamic map and discovery
  • "Unexpected item in the bagging area"
  • "Somebody move this wall"
  • "Somebody move this person" (PIR detection required)
  • http://www.societyofrobots.com/programming_wavefront.shtml

I have a 2N3704 transistor (rather than a 2N3904) so the Base, Collector, and Emitter of this NPN are in different locations...

• https://www.futurlec.com/Datasheet/Transistor/2N3704.pdf
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_junction_transistor#NPN

I also have a regular 2xAA battery holder which somebody has hacked and is slightly melted on one side! I will use this as a single AA battery holder. So my toroid centre tap goes to battery +ve.

Project first build complete (with on/off switch) - upload pictures to the various feeds. Plan a build.
