Let's Make Robots Robots

My first robot, only uploaded later. It was uploaded earlier also, but it somehow disappeared. Well, it can pick up small light-weight things and place them somewhere else. Got lot of ideas from brother, cousin brother and of course the internet.

Picks and drops things.

  • Actuators / output devices: DC Motors
  • Control method: wires
  • Power source: AC to DC adapter (works with a range of voltages)
  • Sensors / input devices: switches
  • Target environment: indoors mainly

"You are a very talented person" :-quote from a wiseman

Great example of engineering with recycled and basic materials. It works well too. Next you need to find a way to control your motor speed so that it is not just full on or off.

This is a very nice bot.

I like very much robots made by “waste materials”. I have a lot of waste material at home and I never made something cool like this with them. Keep on the nice working!

Thank U

I can’t resist waste. Cheap good quality technology.

I agree

Thank you. I agree that I should try to do that next.

Thank U

I am learning programming in Processing. I think that should help me to connect a joystick later.

I like how you thinking,

I like how you thinking, also the re-use materials, you are a smart a tricky engineer !
