The Arduino board is a standard clone, as is the L298N Dual Bridge motor controller. The choice of the 18650 batteries was based on their power rating and ease of obtaining good quality second hand batteries usually from old laptops. I used a number of internet-based resources both for the electronics and Arduino code and for that I offer my thanks to those contributors. My philosophy when building robots is to ensure that they not only work in the way required but also that they look aesthetically correct with clean lines and good construction methods.
It is the first version of this robot with subsequent versions having Bluetooth control, via an Android App which I will be developing on Android Studio, IR sensors for object detection and LCD display. This is my first project to be published on the Instructables site. Ardunio Self Balancing Robot Project Date: July 2018
