I found out recently that there are leagues of robots out there that do miniature first person and autonomous battles with nerf and airsoft weapons. I wanted to do a robot specifically with my little Brother that would really keep his interest and not be nearly as complicated as the Jarvis project. The walking bipedal is not avail from Dj yet but the good news is beginner class may have tracks or wheels! So this means cyler (this projects tag name at the moment) is eligible to compete. Ironically the local airport league also allows robots to play with people. The torso is a omnibot style , specifically a robie sr. I picked up a rad 2.0 base which will get 12v power making this robot practically all-terrain.
Awesome
Thank you sir! Bret are you bringing a laptop or netbook to control your robot to maker faire? I'm getting a security table with the security cables to keep anyone with sticky fingers from walking off with them. I just need to make sure I get one big enough.
Laptop!
Alright, I mounting brackets and drilling holes for security cables to lock yours down so you can wonder off a while without worrying someone is gonna snatch your laptop.
Great news! My Feb order arrived. 2 ez boards and chip to repair an old one.
Sweet! And thanks for the security.
Yup! Next we need to put in the lasers in each gun for targeting and run wire from the motors in the guns through the robots body.
OK I stopped at like 80 percent completion on this because I had to wait on the EZB for him. I picked up the parts to wire a charging jack. I'm using a basic headphone jack for a charging port and a basic toggle switch for power on/ off.
