It’s been quite a while without building robots… errr.. creatures..
anyhow I’m releasing this new creature, wich is still a work in progress.. and since I can’t think on a name for it, I will call it Demann, witch is “unnamed” backwards (without the ‘u’)… sounds like ‘demon’, and for the sake of insanity, it looks like a little demon.. :D
the wheels where designed by Catarina Mota, and if you go to thingiverse, you can download the source code, and print your own wheels if you have access to a 3D printer
pololu mini gears, i strongly advice this motors, very powerfull and fast
this bits will be the motors supports
and after some dremel work they look nice and ready to hold the motors
the chassis, this time I wanted to try wood, it’s quite good to work and to do fast prototyping
et voilá
It isn’t finished yet, but I wanted to share with you :) will add more sensors and more cool stuff as soon as I have time
UPDATE 10-02-2010
Two more infrared sensors were added on the front, this way he’s more sensitive to the environment.
