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.
I find them on ebay and then post them on gold robot daily deals thread lol. Avg price is 50 after shipping.
Hey Josh, here is the wiring diagram for a switching transistor. I have used it for a couple of things on my bot and it works perfect.Thanks! How many amps is that transister good for? That would be great for powering the IR illuminators and other things
Ps I cant wait to see bob shooting stuff up. We can call him Gunslinger Bob
I like that ... Gunslinger Bob. I don't know the amps for sure but you should be able to find that info for sure. But I use it to turn on my cooling fans, and to turn on some lighting circuits.
Im all about making cool names for the robots lol
One of the things about realtime control is a easy to use controller. I needed 2 of these at least if me and my brothers robots are going to shoot it out. We also considered playing at night using the first person view from modified ez robot cameras that had the IR filter removed. The 6 channel controllers that are wifi and also plug in with special cable to usb were 22 dollars each from hobby king
I will try these out and may get another one if they work greatIn the meantime im at work. Its not busy soni brought in rad robot to clean him up and scrape the stickers off. Turns out everyone likes robots so he ran around the office a while!
