Robot chassis and controller

Work-in-progress: an Atmel AVR ATmega8 connected up to an RS-232 level shifter and some robot sensors. I'm actually using the hall-effect sensors in the CD motor to substitute for opto-reflective sensors on the robot's drive gear. One side of the robot is opened up, showing the gears, although three of them are removed at the moment. The RS-232 level shifter, a MAX232 chip, is connected to an HP 95LX handheld computer, acting as a terminal at 9600 baud.
