Hello I am new here :)

Turpis the robot
I’ve been working on my robot, and I honestly feel like a doctor in a third world country, I’m short on everything. I’ve run out of glue sticks for my glue gun, my microcontroller was faulty, so I had to replace it, the bumper switches were about 10x smaller than they should be, I don’t have the right battery pack (a 9v will fry it), the back is severely sagging, I have nothing to cut my metal, I could go on and on! I’ve decided to name my robot “Turpis”, and I don’t know if it will work or not. Quite frankly I’m worried. I’m still confused as to which wires go where. Fear not, I am not deterred. I won’t be defeated by a mere Turpis. :slight_smile:

Help appreciated,

10X?

10 robots the same? To see how they interact? Now THAT’s cool.

That picaxe board’s pretty small. You could easily buidl your own, though.

My name is Oscar and I am 18 years old. I live in California and attend Cal Poly Pomona and my major is physics. I just ordered all my parts yesterday so I hope to get started building my first robot soon because it seems exciting. Ever since i saw the ASIMO robot from honda, robots caught my attention, so I decided to make a hobby about a month ago.
