Shellmo

Nice to meet you. I'm a hobbyist from Japan.

At first, I feel LMR is an awesome community !
There are a lot of unique and creative robots.
All of your works are really NICE !

There are no community like LMR in Japan.
I think there is a difference between the maker's culture of Japan and Western country.
But, we have the same spirit as you.

Today, I want to introduce my robot platform "Shellmo".

It will be too long to write all, so, I write unique points shortly.

Unique points of Shellmo

• Shell:Shell is a face of Shellmo. You can exchange Shell to another Shell with ease.
• MCSA structure: Motor, Core, Shell, Accessory. I separated Shellmo to these modules.
• OpenSource: I think this is not special at here, But, almost robot kit are not opensource yet.
• Printable: Almost parts (without electric parts) are printable.
• Heart: A simple interface between Shellmo to us.
• Decoration: An easy way to change a visual of Shellmo.
• Micropede motor module: A walking module of Shellmo. Inspired by "Gakken Centipede".
• Control with the phone: I made control apps for Android phone.
• Kinetic eyes: I hacked Shellmo's eye for moving itself.
