In the Shout Box Doug asked for a new robot idea and gave a list of material he has:
targetdg15: Anyway, I have an arduino, and three servos... any bot ideas out there?
targetdg15: umn... 2 photoresistors, and an IR distance sensor
Shure we have ideas. Build a Kitchen Robot that brings Salt and Pepper (NilsB). Call it Pepper-y Salt (Kariloy's idea) with the claim Bring Spices on Command (from Maxhirez). Using this or this principle (found by JerZ).
Here an example as inspiration (found by JerZ).
Here the Shout Box conversation:
JerZ: Here's Frits' Bi-ped for the sake of variety
|
NilsB: pepper-y salt |
targetdg15: now im surfing the web looking for a three servo desing i like lol |
NilsB: this is what a LMR chef must have at home |
targetdg15: :) |
NilsB: yeah! JerZ. |
ChuckCrunch: indeed |
targetdg15: ye it does, it has a strikingly handsome man on it :) |
NilsB:Pepper-y Salt Bring Spyce on Command |
targetdg15: that is a great idea! |
NilsB: this is the response to your question about a new robot idea. |
Maxhirez: Nils suggested you build a robot to bring you spices on command. |
NilsB: pepper-y salt. robot project candidate. |
targetdg15: pepper-y salt? |
NilsB: you could build the: pepper-y salt
|
targetdg15: umn... 2 photoresistors, and an IR distance sensor |
kariloy: or... pepper-y salt \o/
|
NilsB: doug, what sensors do you have? |
Maxhirez: I love the way you think Nils!
|
NilsB: a robot that brings you salt or pepper |
targetdg15: lol |
NilsB: a robot that disturbs you at work |
NilsB: targetdg15 is a chef. how about something for the kitchen? |
JerZ: looks like this one gets around quite well |
birdmun: 3 servo hex |
Maxhirez: Nice to see you NilsB |
ChuckCrunch: i made 1 a very long time ago |
targetdg15: Anyway, I have an arduino, and three servos... any bot ideas out there lol |
NilsB: RIP |
targetdg15: well the legs broke off for the last time... to the trash with it |
NilsB: yes Jason. I love that one too. |
NilsB: could this be the walking mechanism of KT? |
Maxhirez: I love that one. It's differential drive with legs. |
NilsB: doug, have you seen this one? https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/34060 |
targetdg15: And yes, it is, I think i just have a flaw in my desing... maybe too much weight |
targetdg15: thought about it... where would I put them? |
JerZ: @targetdg sounds like serious business over there. |
NilsB: doug, would you mind to give KT two more legs? |
targetdg15: giving my bot on more chance... after that it gets scrapped! |
