Robot Potential

Skip to comments   Jump To End

Whenever I go into any store I am always looking for items that have could serve as cool pieces on a robot. "Robot potential" is what I call it. LOL. Lots of everyday items in stores have neat features that can be adapted for use. Why re-invent the wheel, so to speak? Here is an idea...here is a thread where members are suggested to carry cameras when they go shopping and take pictures of items that may have robot potential. This may serve as inspiration to others for their robot designs. When you post the photo you can make a brief comment on where you saw it and what you think it might be good for or how it could be used on a bot to beautify it. If we pool our collective imaginations who knows what may happen....

I like the LED ring. It's much cheaper and smaller than the one I got at Robotshop. It would be good for OMNI2000 eyes if they fit there.

@rgordon Unless @DJ implements hardware control for those WS2812 LED's (wink wink), you won't be able to control them using ARC. They require very precise timing.
