Hey all!
So I read the title "BoxBot" by thetechguru and while I love the salmon box platform, it wasn't quite what I expected because after ordering my Wall-E and my EZ-B kit I thought to myself "well if the kit shows up first, maybe I'll make a bot out of the box it comes in!"
So not to steal any spotlight from BoxBot, I named mine slightly different. I hope you enjoy as I did during the 2 hours I spent putting him together last night when I got the kit finally!
The Kit A hole for the wheel wires Some high-tech wheel mounts to level out the servos Wheels are mounted! Cut a hole and nicely mounted the head servo without glue or screws A protective box for the EZ-Board Another piece of protective cardboard for good measure It fits! The blue light makes the box glow nicelyBy the end of the first night I had movement, speech recognition and face tracking working beautifully.
Tonight I even had my friends take control of it for a while over the Internet using the HTTP server! It's still a little sketchy, but they had a blast! It reminded me of a couple episodes of Big Bang Theory... Points to the first who know what I'm referring to!
But no time to tinker tonight. Just wanted to make my first project showcase. I can't wait to do more with it!

@DMan,
Could you post all of your camera and tracking settings for the metal box robot?
I track color good, but motion and faces I have trouble with.
thanks,
Mel
Lol that's awesome.
I used 2 hotel key cards and made a robot from that. Sandwiched the servos in-between and mounted the EZ-B, battery pack and camera on top. Used elastic bands to hold it all together. It was red neck!
Wow, tin box packaging with a window... makes me want to get one just for the nostalgia I never had
(but I really like the current box as well) Nice build!
@Lumpy I did the same things, but with wooden sticks left over from another project
Awesome.... and I know what you mean by needing a second EZ-B board....or third....or forth.....he he he
