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.
Very good idea on the "reflexes" i though about a ultrasonic pointed forward and.backwards and if hes about to get stuck on somthing.low to the ground he stops or backup a little. This little guy.is going to specifically a outdoor toy but i think its really cool. once this one is made its my brothers nut maybe i could make a slightly different second one. I wonder if i can make him water resistant? Put the ezb in a little box that is mounted high in the body so runnimg through a little puddle wont hurt it.
one mean gunfighter.
will you be doing the mech battle thing to?
Maybe i could do like brett did with bob the omnibot and strip out the insides of the.tape deck and put the ezb inside it. Ill try to find bretts example picture. It was very creative!
chech out how RC boaters waterproof there RC kit. they put it in a small food/sandwich box , with grommets where the wires come out.
THanks for the props Josh!
Bret you should make weapon arms that you can switch out with bob so you can compete in mech wars. tracks and wheels are allowed in beginner class.
