New Robot , REMI
Thought id share a look at this new kit I received from SuperDroidRobots. Its a 4wheel drive, mobil steel base. All motors are 24VDC. y plan is to move My Hemi bot, with its Actobotics framework over to this base instead.
Just getting started, so stay tuned
Hi Robohappy,
Maybe you missed my post, I Interested to see all the functions of your new robot, what will they be?

Hi EzAng,
Hows Mr Metal?
I'm still deciding on what it will do eventually. lol, I know the original "human assist lifting" idea is sidelined, since that's way more involved than I thought. But, as a kind of helper, butler bot maybe?
The robot will have the two arms, VEX claws, and the folding spine from the HEMI bot I built before and I am wanting to redo the head somehow (any ideas? )
. It will still have the camera and various sensors (tbd) and I still wanna get back to all that voice command, face req stuff I tried to work on before.
Oh yea, Still doing more driving test to see if i will have any unexpected balance issues too. At least with this wheel setup, its not getting stuck on any carpets
I will detail more once I get a little further. Have been slowing down some I've noticed lately.
Till next time..... !!
Ok,
Mr. Metal, I took off the wheels for now, nowhere for it to travel, lol - I will soon start practicing arms movements and grippers again.
He still talks and RGB Eyes still work.
These are the claws I use on Mr. Metal - https://www.amazon.com/Hiwonder-Mechanical-Robot-Claw-Gripper/dp/B089KMK954/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2THWS4PT41IPF&keywords=claws%2Bfor%2Brobot&qid=1662666473&sprefix=claws%2Bfor%2Br%2Caps%2C2305&sr=8-4&th=1
Need something new. Looking at a few gps modules for now
That's my 2 cents :-) EzAng
Well hello folks ! How have you all been? Its been awhile since I posted any updates on my REMI robot project here. Sorta had a bit of a "designers block" when it came to how I wanted to mount a few things on the chassis. So I stepped away from it all, meanwhile priority of family issues arose once again.
This is but a small update of where I am now with this, So Id like to show off some progress.... Btw, hats off to some of the more recent ideas and designs I have seen around here, great work and a thank you, it actually helped me get back the spark needed to continue
This picture shows the robots new "spine", The actuator, from ServoCity, is to help bend the bot in a way that I hope to use for transporting, like in my van if Im gonna take it places. The second pic is the upper body of my old bot "HEMI" for which I'm planning on moving it all onto the new chassis to become "REMI". Cheesy it sounds yea, but it works hahaha.
I still plan on making a new head, relocate the EZB, and change the shoulders around a bit. Id like to just flip them around from what is shown here. Also plan on doing some serious rewiring as needed.
This a Power Distribution Module (TE-248-220) from Super Droid Robots. It handles how to route the 24VDC (motors) and 12VDC (everything else) that will be used thru-out.
The 24v Battery Charging port, mounted there for now. You will also notice an RC receiver, I am for now, driving the bot around via RC. As you can see I have also mounted Ultrasonic sensors for when i switch to AI mode. Already have had been working on drive speeds using the RoboClaw 2x15 motor controller. Much more work ahead....
Another view. May be hard to see, but the lower chassis has the 2 - 12VDC SLA batteries in place. Yeah, the wiring looks a mess in there, some sort of "body" to cover it all is an idea once I get closer to the structures finish. Any ideas??
So, the base of the chassis is a 3 wheeled design from Super Droid Robots. Using 2, 24VDC motors and a large caster in the back. The rest of the metal is still the Actobotics series from ServoCity.That's all I have to show for now
hope you enjoy. More is on the way of course. Comments welcome of course. Was nice to finally spend some time to do this
Wow, how tall is that going to be? Very cool robust, looking robot
Hi DJ, If all goes well, Im thinking between 5 to 6 feet tall. I like the idea of it big , lol. I like this new chassis, seems to handle different terrain well so far.
Great going RoboHappy
