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.
Yes, all the aluminum is cnc'd on my Tormach. I built the laser cutter from scratch that cut all the acrylic. It'll handle a 24"x24" piece and cuts 1" thick in acrylic. I run Bobcad and do all the design work then convert it to G-code to either run on the laser or the Tormach. I've got Solidworks but it's an older 2007 version. I've done some 3d on the cnc with Solidworks. I'm eyeing the Replicator 2 they use in the Ez-robot office. I think that'll be the next addition to my workshop.
Nice setup to have at your finger tips.
I like building things. I'm better at the building than the programming. I've used the BS2 up to this point and done quit a bit with it. I'm excited to learn more about this EZ-B setup.
Lemme ask a question for the more experienced users here. Is there an easier way to find my posting? Now, If I don't post any updates for several days, I have to go digging through all the numbered screens to find mine. The more time that passes, the further out in the numbers this post becomes.
The only way is to use the search bar at the top of the page.
