Yes, Another Wall-e type Robot!

Yes, Another Wall-e type Robot!

This is a RAD 2.0 old robot base, that have suffer a serios transformation. I cut the first free wells and mounted over the rest with 2, 1/4" treaded rod, to form the triangle shape track. The same rod works like a tension adjuster for the track belts.

This one is gona have some sensors, and a PICAXE 28X1 controller. Already have some on hand some sonar sensors, photo sensors, a nice small linear bearing to be used in a extend/retract gripper hand.The body will be covered on Sintra, 1/4 " black.

My first goal is to navigate around the house, and outside, avoiding things, and also to have a line follower mode.

Navigate avoiding ostacles, Line follower mode.

  • Actuators / output devices: DC Motors, Small Steper
  • Control method: Autonomous.
  • CPU: Picaxe 28x1
  • Power source: 6.0 and 9.0 Vdc Racing Batterie Packs
  • Sensors / input devices: Industrial Photosensors, Sunix Ultra Sonic Sensor
  • Target environment: Indoor or outdoor

That’s a pretty clever way
That’s a pretty clever way to make a triangle track path, Wall-E style. Looks cool, hope it winds up working well, looking forward to more.

Where to find materials?

Thx for your tip about encoder. Your robot prototype is great, but where you’ve found plexiglass for the second robot and where you’ve found plastic for this and how you’ve modelled it?

Sorry for my bad english.

waw

keep on great jobs man…

your wall-e looks cool…
