Hello fellow EZ-B'rs, As I finally discovery how to upload photos I thought it was time to share my robot with the world. It's called R.O.O.S.T.E.R which stands for: Remote Online Operating Scientific Testing Electronic Robot (took me about an hour to come up with that, but I like it).

It's based on the 6 wheeled Dagu Wild Thumper kit. On top of that I added a 5 DOF robotic arm and a netbook.

The specs:

  • 6x 6v 6A motors
  • 2x 20A Rc Car ESCs
  • 2x Reddragon 2s 25c 1200mAh
  • Ofc the Ez- B
  • Dfrobot 5dof robotic arm
  • Asus Eee pc 900hd
  • Ping sensor (well... I sort of broke it... It got stuck between the robot and the wall...)

Why I'm building it? Because I can, robots are Awsome, the EZ-B rules and I got tired of burning/shocking myself when I'm testing one of my "crazy" contraptions.

Up coming updates for robot:

  • A rotationplatform for the arm.
  • 2 gigantic lipo batteries.
  • camera+ pan/tilt turret.
  • Small rockets
  • mini mini-gun
  • Flamethrowler (a failed version of a liquid fueled rocket, but it's working if you call it something else)
  • coilgun
  • railgun
  • Lots of other things I can come up with.

That is a real nice arm!!!

Maybe a 360 degree servo is a modified servo. I'll find out shortly too. I ordered one to see.

Project update: I have finished one of my mini projects which are for the main project. When I was playing with my robotic arm for let's say an hour I noticed that the heatsinks on the voltage regulators where getting hot so I figured, I have to fix that! Here is the result:

I've mounted the EZ-B on to an aluminium plate. On the side facing the voltage regulators I made 90 degree bent an added a 5v 25x25 mm fan.

Next update: It has to do something with a part that belongs on an airplane, but normal people will never see it.

Or something with batteries:P

To be continued!

I found it on ebay. This seller has lots of sizes, but I thought this one would fit the best. Here is the Link

This is spectacular. You should upload a video. I would love to see it in action

When I have finished my camerahead-tower/netbook-protection-holder-thingy and my power distribution board I will certainly make a video ^^. But not yet:P.
