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.
Well I don't have plans at the moment ,one was super glued together and I broke it when I was initially disassembling the robbie jr.
I had to modify the rad base so Robie Sr could fit onto it....
For sure Cyler has the Robo Tank feel. I was afraid it may not look good but I lucked out! Next I must cut a piece of quarter inch ply that will be screwed to the rad base top and the Omnibot torso will bolt to that piece of ply.
This is the sideview that cannot be seen when the robot is sitting below eye level.
Nice - he looks right at home on top of the RAD base.
I'm pretty happy with it. Now I Must mount 2 Servos in the shoulders and connect the guns to the servo horns and I will need to figure out a way to trigger power from ezb to the drive motors of these guns for shooting.
Great news 30 bucks got me another rad robot! Woohoo it has the missiles too.
Dude! Where do you find these deals? I need to find another RAD so I can mod B.O.B. into a killer robot. heheheheh
