Hello everyone
so i have begun building my full size astromech droid! I know that this project is going to take a long time but I feel it will be worth it in the end. My droid will be built from styrene and 3d printed parts. The dome is actually a security mirror but requires a 2" riser made from a floral craft ring and styrene cover.
I wil be loading larger and not sideways photos soon.... stress

This isnt a new robot but rather a remix of an old idea I had. Its based off of a robot that I built for a 555 timer...

Upgraded the speakers to 8 ohm 2 watt 1 inch diameter units and hid everything inside the dust bin of the Dirt Dog....

Hey guys...this Adafruit 16-channel PWM/Servo Shield integrates seamlessly to ARC now... So if you are having one...
i cant wait to hear how the omni wheels turn out! I would love to switch my casters out for that set up if it pans out ( hint: i will be pilfering your design
)
Yes, I love the look of new shiny aluminum. There's something very manly about it.
It has been a while since my last update.
I have to tell @Jayutmb that the Omni wheels are a god send haha they are far superior to the casters! I will have a video of it moving around soon but I can tell you that it does way better over bumps and during turning. I am also surprised that the 3d printed mounts have held up so far. I really expected them to break quickly
R2LA was this last Saturday. It is a chance for the local builders to get together and share notes and look at the new parts that people are making. It was a really hot day but a ton of fun! I was also interviewed briefly on tested.com for my astromech
One of the local builders also took a video of some of the droids. You can see my droid and ez-robot periodically throughout the video:
I am anxious to see how those Omni wheels perform. I had wondered why no-one was using them. I suspected it had something to do with forward speed. I think they would be cool on all three legs.
@Zap Brannigan going full speed you can hear them a little more than casters on hard surfaces.. but they are just so much better on bumps and during turning that I don't see the noise bothering me. the droid is also much more stable and planted with a larger surface area on the ground
Nice update. The event looked like it was fun, and great to hear about the interview. I'm having some electrical system issues at the mo (another story), but that "Minion Droid" really made me laugh.
There's a great selection of Astromechs in you photos, but I have to say that your lil droid really does stand out from the crowd. Thanks for posting the photos.
(Second time I've posted this reply, as the website went down when I hit "Reply" the last time, lol).
NICE! So awesome to hear! I shall copy cat you ASAP
Hi! what amazing work! I'm building my on (it is not as beautiful as yours) but can you give me a hint ? what did you use to control wheels ?.. i'm using Scooter motors, but still don't know how to connect them to ARC...
