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.
Here's the unhappy robot waiting for repair parts for the EZ-B. He did enjoy the Revolution last night though. I saw him smiling briefly.
Still working on the face. Give me some input, what do you think of the face I came up with? There's an ultra sonic sensor where the eyes would be and LEDs for the mouth.
That would look good I like the idea.
I used the laser cutter to cut out the two pieces. Then I heated them both in the oven to 300 degrees and formed them over the cylinder that makes up the "head". The back ground matches the acrylic that's inset into the tracks and the rest of the face is .125 ABS also cut out on the laser.
The EZ-B is working well now after the repair. I'm working my way through the tutorials trying to learn to make everything work.
Deadmau5! robot addition!
@Technopro THAT rocks. That should be the name.
A view from the back.
@Machine27 That is slick. Did you do the machining your self?
