We have been disussing setting up a booth area to show off our robots and also have a small airsoft robot arena to battle in
So far we have Bret , myself and Alequa my brother coming. I made this thread so we are not discussing things off topic on others. Here is trossens arena for ideas but we can make ours different.
Very cool RGordon! I will check one out on person and seen if it it is reasonable
Right now I'm making a guest robot that resembles a turret and I believe I will make another guest robot That is white and blue the ez robot colors
I moved so this is where its at right now.I'm planning on mounting a EZ cam in the middle between the two air soft guns but right now they are just sitting there for the picture.
RGordon! Thank you for the suggestion. This toy is ideal For a battle not scenario! I looked at how it works and a simple IR led would allow it to track and attack the players in the arena and the sat dish on top is actually a target which when hit temporarily deactivates the robot. It even comes with a remote so a person can control it. Neat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aFja4ALYUQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
You know, we could make one with the EZ-B
Well that's true but you can buy this little guy premade for 30 bucks , I would spend that much on epoxy making one myself lol. I thought it could be neat to maybe put one on top of the obstical/ arena buildings and let spectators operate it while watching. Just a fun addition.
I'll try to grab one up soon and try it out.
Sounds like that will be fun. When is MakerFaire NC?
June 16 2013 weekend
They're like a month apart. Are you excited? I am not really participating as a maker this year. Will pass out flyers in my Make: Beta Team shirt..... I doubt it would be as cool as driving around like a zombie.
