That sounds good
mostly me i am looking to make my own,using very little serovo's but still have many emotions
DONT need servo's to do all emotions,there are other low cost idea's
but still hope to see what you have and cost
Have any video's of your design
second will the eye take web camera to place inside
Thanks Dave! I'm just a regular guy who started in my basement doing rubber monsters at the age of 12! I've always had a passion for robots. The EZB has given me a plethora of ideas for products. And with new pricing on these boards I'll be able to throw one in every prototype!
@robotmaker, no video of design. Keeping it under wraps. As for the eyes , no the sizes are based on human sizes and to get the camera and moving parts of the eye in there together would be impossible. ( I am speaking of the wireless camera that comes with the kit ). Maybe there are other micro wireless cameras that would fit!?
There ones at .75 inch square and some even smaller,most eyes are about 1 inch round,like the one the sell on ebay,and DJ has and i have the same one too,camera fits easy in it.
Also with all your servo's using in it have you check the current,in a normal face it should draw so or alot and more or less depending on the emotions its showing
Thats a major item in battery controlled robots,in animation i think its not important mostly i would say it run off a AC line
Need to keep the battery usage as low as possible or use a much larger battery and then higher torque motors or charge every 15 min
I was able to reduce the current on servo's,you make your own servo with feedback circuit
and pick higher torgue motor and the right gear ratio to give you double the torque you need
and run the servo at half the current and torque,
Been designing my own servo's for a very long time
Look at my omnibot 2000 problem the arm has lift power of 200 pounds at 1 amp
but only using less then 100lbs and under 500 ma
Same servo from servocity draws 2.5 amps at near 200 lbs
Feedback is easy only need a servo board and 5k pot and upgrade if needed the h-bridge chip on the board
We have not filled the second Solidworks position yet. Over a hundred applicants locally - we're the engineering capital of Canada (and I think also USA) - plenty of people are excited to work in robotics! It's awesome... Although all the submissions will make interviewing next week very difficult.
We have had a solidworks employee for the past 2 months. We are hiring our second
I sleep and wake wondering when the revolution will begin and dream of what it will contain. When my friend will you announce the revolution? A month a week? When?
Omg good luck on those interviews! That's a lot of interviews.
Will, umm, I mean fxrtst, Do you have any pics of those rubber monitors you made in you basement years ago? I'd love to see where it all started. You had a web site once a few years ago wiht more of your work. Is any of that still available?
LOL I am sure my mom has a picture of those early days in the basement! All my personal stuff has been moved to Facebook. I will share an album there, some work over the past 10 years and include austin powers, peral harbor, planet of the apes (2001), the watchman, benjamin buttons..and on and on..lol, just a fraction of the past 25 years.

Keep in mind, that face is not part of Revolution
