Hello! I am an amateur filmmaker, but have never dabbled in robot construction before. I was hoping to use a robot for my new film, and it doesn't have to do much, just basic mobile functions, like a toy car (move forward, basically). I was going to construct a body/ face out of non integrative parts (like the arms/ head doesn't have to move: I don't have enough skill to undertake that). I was thinking of purchasing a 2WD Beginner Robot Chassis V2 or something in that vein, a basic robot on wheels, and putting a body on it. Any suggestions?? Anyone used this type of preassembled robot before?
I have to agree with Max too. Best thing would be a sketch with some measurements, so we can see a possible shape and the size. I am sure there are a few people her who would help to build one, including me.
You might be able to scrounge 1 at a yard sale or on craigs list, but it could take several months. The size, functionality, and much of the body would be ready to go.
Bluetooth and radio control are easy to set up, and then someone behind the scenes makes it move, making it to seem autonomous. Then the plot is what define how it should look and its function. If aimed at kid it should have round shapes and soft padding, if aimed at engineers all circuits on sight it’s better.
