Baby Johnny 5

well, me having ADHD and all, didn’t help with the other project, so, i was like, wow, this is hard stuff PS2 and stuff, so, my mind floated off, and i thought of the johnny 5, and, i anded up making one :open_mouth:

its much less complicated than Jim’s, but its sorta like it, it has a waist rotate, and waist bend, it has 2 DOF arms :laughing:, id send a pic, but the camera is hiding right now though, and the arms end in multipurpose brackets :laughing:

but i want to put pokers on it, like the poles with rubber thingsalso, i can use the PS2 controller to control it with codes that are already out there :smiley:

but, ill get it up as soon as possible, a pic i mean

cool! cant wait for the pic!

Chunga showed me it on MSN via webcam. It looks really sick. (Possibly cooler than jim’s :open_mouth:). Reason why its so cool is because the design is rahter simple. I mean like REALLY simple. Only problem is that its mounted to the top of the 4WD1 and not the front. But still looks cool.

ahh, I wanna see it!

::looks at watch, refesh the site, looks at watch:: :laughing:

but, if lets say that the johnny 5 reaches for an object, cant it be debalanced and fall on its face? even more if the object is heavy

That’s where a 2DOF acclerometer/gyro would come in handy.
Whack one on the base and use a linear actuator to move the batteries back and forth to keep balance.
:smiley:

If you don’t like that…
Sticking the bugger in the middle should do well enough.
:stuck_out_tongue:

well, hmmm

well, i could always implement my idea of lttle outriggers on the front wen its picking something up, so they go out when its picking up sumpin
