Even though I have a bunch of projects that are half finished, I do have another project idea that I'm excited about: Converting a VHS tape into a Robot! If you have some old VHS tapes that you don't mind re-purposing, hack along with me!
Materials I'll be using:
1 x Vintage VHS Tape (but not popular enough to keep
)
1 x EZ-B IoTiny robot controller
2 x 360 Servos
1 x LiPo Battery
x Hot glue sticks
For the rest of the time I'll be taking things a bit more casually, probably testing out some different ideas I have and improving on ROB and Voltron!
Hope to see you guys on Friday night!
xDHey Jeremie,funny you mention glue sticks will be needed. Yesterday I was at Wal-Mart and saw glue stick refill packs and I picked them up .Got home and realize I bought the wrong size sticks.Pack says PRO STRENGTH ,FULL SIZE. so I'm thinking There is different sizes??My dollar store gun was just a Mini version and uses mini sticks. So I just went out to find this Fabled industrial strength Hi temp,larger Pro full size gun. Yes it does exist at Wal-Mart and I picked one up for 12 dollars,not too bad a price. So now reading the gun package it says 4 times the power or projects that need 8 times the power...whoaa!
Edit ----when I re-read what I posted it just comes off sounding so wrong LOL! Had to edit some of it, I am talking about glue sticks people nothing else,LOL!
hi roborad
i use transparent hot glue sticks from 11 mm.one time i wanted to use a colored white stick. and i put them in a new glue gun.10 min after, the gun blew up,even the main fuse in my house blew up. it was a big bang.its a good thing to read the pakkage content.lol
Wow @Nomad those are some dangerous hot glue sticks!
@Robo Rad I guess my infinity symbol in front of the Hot glue sticks disappeared, lol.
I'm glad that DJ's hot glue ways have rubbed off on you, it's a great way to build robots FAST
Good luck with your new powerful Glue Gun!
