ProtoBot (aka ugly mofo)
I wasn't really gonna post this robot, but then I thought what the heck, it IS my 1st robot. Besides the next time one of you guys make a robot that isn't as aesthetically pleasing as you'd like you can always remember: Well atleast it isn't as ugly as that thing Aniss made :)
It is a quick prototype for a mapping robot I'm planning and it isn't gonna have a very long life. It's too ugly to live. I just needed to put something together now that I finally have gathered the parts, skills and knowledge (so so) I need to start building robots. A few months ago I didn't know what a circuit, microcontroller or a servo was and I didn't even have a screewdriver, so it's been a tough ride for me.
Very soon I'll have something more interesting to show. That is when I get more time and figure out how to attach these DC motors (these things are killing me)...
- Actuators / output devices: 2 DC motors (DAGU)
- Control method: USB cable
- CPU: Arduino Duemilanove
- Operating system: windows XP
- Power source: Converted AT power supply
- Programming language: Arduino / C++
- Sensors / input devices: none
- Target environment: My living room
