Hey everyone! I have been doing some more work on my DEWY project, and realized he doesn't have any arms!
I had made some arms out of Polystyrene, but they just don't match.
I want some input from you guys. Arm ideas? The bot doesn't need grippers, though the design could have them, and must be able to hold a tray(with or without grippers) near the width of the bot. Colors are red, black, and white. I want to make the design out of insulation foam, reinforced with wood or plastic.
Recap: -Grippers not nessesary -must be able to hold tray -Red black white for color scheme -will be made of foam/wood/plastic -NEEDS TO BE CHEAP(simple 2 servo arm or similar)
Which ever one I like the best I'll use!
This is a chance for everyone to relax, and take your mind off other stuff, and help a fellow EZ-roboteer!(Is that what we call ourselves?)
Other stuff: Everyone may know that I have a Youtube channel Technopro. This is a channel I have had for a while now. For originality, and to lighten my load with other stuff, I will be moving everything to my New channel MazeHorizon0(Yes, MAZEHORIZON0). I hope you guys will all subscribe, as it will help me out. Share around too! I won't be closing Technopro, but I will no longer post on it. Expect me to change my Profile soon!
Thanks guys! Can't wait to start this new channel, and get DEWY finished!
I would use PVC pipe or wood.
Maybe don't worry about the arms holding the tray - instead make the tray clip onto the body somehow. That way you don't need to worry about the buzz of servos, and potential servo damage. I would still make arms - out of painted styrofoam which is lightest and will look decent. Use the arms simply for personality quality - and the tray can clip onto his chest, instead of the arms holding the tray.
@DJ Good idea!
@JustinRatliff The foam would be way lighter, and I have some hardening tricks.
I believe I have a concept arm but I'll see if I get any ideas. My concept has a bit of a futuristic look, while sticking to DEWY's rough figure.
