Here's the robot I've been working on. All the aluminum is CNC cut and turned out pretty nice. The tracks and sprockets are from Lynxmotion and the drives are Sabertooth and Pololu. I've been driving it around with a RC setup but look forward to adding the EZ-robot controller I just ordered.
The center section powers up and the (face) is timed via a timing belt with the center rotation point so the smile always points forward no matter the position of the center section.
The sharpie drawn smile is just temporary and as soon as I can come up with a face that's got some character and can support a sensor or two I'll make it and install it.
So where is the EZB?
Alright. UPS tracking number says my Ez-Robot kit is out for delivery. This is the longest afternoon ever! Come on UPS!
Lol that's awesome , can't wait.
Hang in there..... UPS and Fedex show up at my door which is at the end of their routes around 6 or 7 pm.
Dude! eek Beautiful CNC work, man. I'm really diggin the lynxmotion tracks too lol. I remember the anticipation when I was waiting for my ez-b...in the end, it showed up while i was at work lol. Thankfully, my neighbor just happened to be outside (she knew that I'd been expecting it any day) and signed for it lol
This should end up as Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, man!
Sorry robot builders. I hit a wall tonight. Got my EZ kit only to learn my laptop doesn't have a bluetooth thingy and xp isn't going to cut it. Gotta head out tomorrow and find a bluetooth antenna and windows 7. Darn
I'll post more on the robot when it's up and ready. If all goes well with the EZ-B project, I'll install one in my Wall-e version shown below:
Oh my that's gorgeous. out of curiosity what is the weight approximation.
