Brewster The Beer Buddy

This is awesome! Ive been wanting to tackle a project like this for a while..

wow! theres a lot to your claw. is that gear for giving your claw more grabbing power(torque)? Your claw is interesting.

I love it. It's living proof that necessity is the mother of invention.

This is fantastic! We can't wait to see the final version and have one delivering beer in the office

Here it is Brewster the beer buddy updated video.

That is great, did it pick the music? lol

@RobMcc very nice job and video !

We assembled a beer bot with Revolution today Sadly, ours is no where near as cool! Man your robot is my favorite (not just because it brings me beer)

Roli and Six are bring the beer to jd the robot. lol
Yes, Brewster is the beer robot and now he is off to party.

RobMcc,
That is an amazing robot.
How do you make it track so straight from script? I observed you used several speeds.
My Irobot platforms, Create and Roomba, always have a slight ARC in straight movements.
If I use faster speeds, the ARC is minimized.
Can you share your script?
Thank You

Hey Steve S,
It has been a bit of a challenge but thanks to this post I'm sure it will help you out as it did for me. There is alot of excellent information and website links.

As for my script needs a little clean up but here is a sample to get the Roomba to go straight. Although running on carpet is totally different. lol
Good luck hope it helps.

i just saw the video, EPIC!

Too cool!

Thank you very much. My Irobot platform tracks straighter with your script.
I added script to voice commands with good results (forward, reverse).
By adding the slow speed first starting forward, it also cut down on the rocking (less whiplash).
Your video was excellent.
The EZ Robot community is great.

No problem glad to here its working for you.

Really like this bot! Keep up the good work

Congrats Rob: http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/posts.aspx?threadId=5262

Wow. This is cool. Have not had much time to advance Brewster much but this little blurb may have just inspired me to add more features. Thanks to you guys at EZ-Robots I have a few more ideas that I might try to implement. Thanks DJ for posting this. Just a side note I drink all kinds of beer not just Keystone.

RobMcc ,
Congrats Rob.
A great project.
Will be following any new features you might have.
Thank you for sharing.

@RobMcc I also wanted to say congrats on getting published! When introducing new people to EZ-Robot we like to talk...ok...brag...about projects like yours that are created by the EZ-Robot community. We love getting published ourselves but it makes us even more proud to see the community getting the recognition it deserves! I have a feeling we are going to see a lot more community projects in blogs & magazines in the days ahead
