Mini Sumo Current Progress 28JAN

Abandoned the light for sound detector as unnecessary.
Programmed servo and sonar ping combo to operate together.  Used code from two different sources provided by:
1.  BARRAGAN <http://barraganstudio.com/> intended for use on the Arduino Experimentors Kit @ source circuit 04 http://ardx.org/src//guide/2/ARDX-EG-OOML-WEB.pdf on the servo
2.  http://www.funnyrobotics.com/2011/03/arduino-with-parallax-ping-sensor.html for the Sonar Ping sensor
Originally, the programs were treated separately, but I eventually combined them using FOR commands so that for every degree a ping is done. Servo and Sonar Ping
Programmed servo and sonar ping combo to move faster when detected object is close.  Added some IF ELSE statements that specified a threshold for the close object before moving faster.  Need to post code.
Purchased battery holders,  9V battery clips, NPN  transistors #1, NPN transistors #2, and  DPDT relays from Radio Shack.
Goal: Post design for H-Bridge relay with transistors
Goal: Program servo and sonar ping combo to limit movement to close object only.
Goal: Program servo and sonar ping combo into a grid array.
Goal: Purchase IR detection array for Edge sensing
Goal: Program edge sensing
