Sky Walker Robot Kit - my first robot

Hi guys,

after 3 years of nearly daily watching of your amazing robots builds I finally decided to join this great community. Born and grew up in the country where the word Robot is coming from of course I got infected by robots. As a kid I had some robot toys. After moving to Germany due to work reasons I met my wife and stayed here. And she was it who made me a gift named Sky Walker Robot Kit. It was in 2008 and since then I was interested again in robots.

And here it is a short description of my first simple funny robot kit.

The official description from the Arexx homepage as follows: “Sky Walker is a striking, little robot with two sensors. One sensor reacts on light intensity changes and the other one to sound. Depending on the Sensor Values, the robot starts walking and automatically stops after a few seconds. With this educational robot project, everybody can learn the basic principles of electronics. The robot is supplied as a construction kit. It is available as a pre-soldered and a soldering required version. The manual not only gives step-by-step instructions with clear images how to build the robot. It also contains a lot of extra information about the world of electronics and mechanics.”

Here you can find the whole instruction manual incl. schematics, parts list, assembly etc. in English: http://www.rapidonline.com/pdf/191650_an_en_01.pdf

I decided not to put all the info to my entry as I did not develop it by myself. I'm happy to be a part of LMR now.

Best regards from Stuttgart
