First attempt at cracking a safe

http://carlitoscontraptions.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Safe_Cracker2-300x240.jpg

I started building robotics project and the first one is a safe cracker. It should dial all possible combinations on a safe until it opens up. If you are feeling curious about the project, please have a look at my blog: carlitoscontraptions.com/2009/07/gentle-safe-cracker/

Also for this project, I developed a Pololu Library in Python that could be use for any project involving their servo controller.

I’ll try with a different (more powerful) motor. As soon as I find out what is in there I’ll post it here for everybody to know.

BTW, I’m very glad you enjoyed the project. Keep in mind that the Pololu library is available for everybody to use.

Cheers

Those eyes really give the project attitude :smiley:
How long does it usually take to brute-force combination locks?

Hi Carlitos,

Welcome to the RobotShop Forum. Very interesting project! We hope you’ll post the results (does it finally open up and reveal its mysteries?).

I read the blog and see this project failed :angry:

Very creative project nonetheless!
