Addition to my portal turret link above -

i have built this robot without microcontroller ,just a servo , and some metal parts ,and some creation ,very simple ,very easy , and here is the link :
I built HaloBOT for my daughter. It was her design, which was based on an earlier version that used overseas sourced parts.
It is based on Picaxe18 and can be programmed in either basic or flowchart, which suits her programming level.

I’ve been building and designing hexapod robots for some years now. This is a remotely operated ant inspired hexapod called A-Pod. You’ll find more information about the project here:
I’ve just uploaded A-Pod video part II on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDaNkff5Yyg
I decided NOT to enter my most ambitious, most massive project - my freefall attraction.
Instead, I will enter with Tp-bot, wich I believe is my most original creation.
anyway, no need to keep talking about it over here…
you can view my project (well documented - text + photos+photos+photos+…)

this is my best robot, its not very good, but give me credit! i’m only 9 years old!
Not necessarily my best, but definitely my funniest one.
Here is 3it3ot (BitBot) the MINDSTORMS Club Dance Robot.
3it3ot is consisted of one NXT Brick, three NXT Motors, one NXT Touch Sensor, one NXT Ultrasonic Sensor, one NXT Sound Sensor, one HiTechnic IR-Link, three PF IR Receivers, five PF Medium Motors and six PF Light Pairs. All LEGO.
More information you’ll find at http://web.mac.com/NeXTSTORM/NeXTSTORM/BitBot.html and at my YT channel http://www.youtube.com/user/NeXTSTORMING
Music theme is original! Inspired and composed especially for 3it3ot!
Hope you’ll enjoy both the robot and music.

Homemade “ROV” (now “UGV”) Project:
http://www.phoenixgarage.org/show_article/51
Currently working on an update to it, which will use a PowerWheels H2 as the “base”, dual Logitech Orbit AF USB cameras on a yet-to-be-built custom pan/tilt platform with a low-cost LIDAR system based around OpenCV, custom h-bridge driver circuitry, an Arduino, a Pololu Micro Serial Servo controller, and a custom Intel Atom motherboard with a gig of RAM, 250 GB of RAID 0+1 hard drive space, plus 802.11g wifi, running Ubuntu and LAMP. We might even throw in a custom manipulator arm, seeing as how there will be enough open servo connections on the Pololu controller board.
Here’s a link to an article with video showing the layout of the custom main control computer:

Jared has, unfortunately, left the project to pursue other goals…
Since William personally emailed me, (and I expect a bunch of other people) I thought I’d throw my hat into the ring with my little balance bot.
The thing I’m most proud of with this bot, is the battery connector. I used a 7 vold Black & Decker VPX battery, and made my own little snap in battery container with the leftovers from a wall wort adapter.
Also the wheels attached to the motors required some puzzle solving. I ended up drilling a hole through the head of a bolt, with a tightening screw going into the side of the head. The screw holds the motor’s axle, and the bolt holds the wheel.
The balancing isn’t very good, due to the motors being geared down so much they can’t keep up, (at least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it). But the little guy really tries hard to balance himself.
Cool!
Here is mine:

My highschool computer science class puts on a sumo competition as part of learning how to program. Typical BOE bot with add-ons and a few sensors. Kids have fun designing, programming and competing!

My best project is still probably Lt. Dan, the half-a-humanoid. It pushes itself around on its skateboard with its hands and avoids obstacles via a PING))) ultrasonic sensor. http://letsmakerobots.com/node/5732
I’d link to my senior project which is a high precision three axis rate table but the website is gone now. Sigh…
