This tutorial will show you how to make a very simple robot that will avoid obstacles on the ground. It uses no microcontrollers, no servos, and there is no need to program. The simple design make its an ideal project for those wanting to tryout robotics and also makes a great weekend project. After building one you can probably make a second one in less than 10 minutes.

This design is obviously inspired by Jerome Demers’ own “Beetle Robot” design he published in 2001 on his website. He’s got an updated construction article on Instructables at http://www.instructables.com/id/EMXHDSPF2L4FTB0/

I came across this post, it has some good links to guides for simple robots which use readily available basic components:
