Hey,

here´s my first robot-project. I proudly present "MARVIN" tadaa As you can see, I´m still working on it ... the camera is modified to be powered by USB and at least the head is moving ;)

The hand is built out of a OWI-robot-arm and connected with a servo. Next step will be the arms. Until now I´m not sure which feet it will get.

Greetings from the bavarian-wood.

At last;) I found the time to continue the work on my little friend :D

I found some images in the web what the robot looked like before I started working. User-inserted image Luckily I changed the colors to black and white and removed the labels :D

The LED lights are working (as you can see on the pics below) and his head is finished. User-inserted image User-inserted image

Servos for the arms are glued and ready for use. The parts of his arms are under construction in my crazy laboratory:P . I want to mount a grappler on the left arm. For the other side I dont have an idea yet confused . Perhaps anyone has a good idea? User-inserted image

And finally that´s why they call him MARVIN User-inserted image

Great "transformation" and the lights and camera give Marvin a very cool look! For a balanced look its good to keep both arms the same...but for "research/education" of robot arms think of something else like a "gripper" Like the Claw.. http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Claw-1/ using only one servo!

Your Marvin robot looks awersome if you are still in the process of building Marvin keep up the awersome work;):D:D :D

Here we go,

long time ago, in bavaria far far away ... Marvin has to wait for a long time, but now i can continue my work.

Shoulders were mounted provisorily to test the functionality and the look. A rover base completes the black and white look (looks like i have to raise the body a bit so that the proportion of the body and the rover fit each other)

The battery pack was mounted in the black jet-pack on the backside.

Here is a small video of his previous functions:

I love the Rover 5 base by DAGU

It gives it a awesome look.

That is a delightful robot. Keep up the good work.
