Abstract :
In this paper, design and development of an autonomous ball potting robot for participating in National Engineering Robotics Contest (NERC) 2008 is presented. Equipped with infrared sensors, bump switches and potentiometers; all interfaced to AT89C52 microcontroller, the robot is capable of picking the balls from a ball stand and potting these balls into goal posts of different heights by navigating through a grid of white reflecting lines.
