Next Steps

After a bit of digging I think I will try the following

• Make my car drive and think at the same time (oople forum suggestion)
• Check timing errors for the infra red sensor (SOR forum)
• Check the noise levels and if possible reduce them (SOR forum and Robot room)

This is a really good website Society of Robots with lots of information on robot building. Also check out this website Esawdust.
