This is my first showcase of my robot. Her name is Captain Ann Droid. My last robot was built 25 yrs. ago. When I told my wife and daughter I was going to build a faster and smarter robot they told me it should be a female? She uses an Irobot Create platform, EZ robot kit and software, Radio Shack blue tooth speech unit and other parts. EZ robot has been far above my expectations. Thanks D.J. I hope my links work.

This the result of too much free time lately, the new project is a robot drawing a sphere, using the low-cost approach...
Very cool. Are you going to use the ears to give Anna a sense of emotional state? Up for alert, down for sad, back for mad?
Justin, Thank you. Yes, I was planning to incorporate them into some of her other actions. It will give her more expression that she needed. Planning eventually to have her ear movements into her Auto Position frames. Steve S
@steve, I've got a question 4-U.
I noticed that on the shoulders you have some round circles. They look sharp. What exactly are they? Is this just for looks, or are they weights to make the shoulders move easier. either way, Captain Anne Droid is Rockin'!
P.s. Where did you get the EARS from?
Sorry. I went back and read and answered my own questions.
But, another question . . . . do you have your complete EZB file for download?
You and your robots are a GREAT inspiration to us all!
@Steve have you ever posted pictures of the robot "James"?
MovieMaker, Thank you for the kind words. I have to give credit to members in this great community who have been helpful to me. Yes the counterweights (fender washers) make the arms perform better and provide an end cap look that I wanted. I removed some personal info and posted captainanndroidpublic file. The code still needs improvements. Open to ay suggestions. The I Robot commands are made for an I Robot Create with Superset commands.
Justin, Here is a link from a thread that Toymaker started about first robots.
James is on this thread
Steve S
WOW, James was controlled by a c64. That was one of my first successful computer to robot interfaces. I really wanted to make my c64 mobile, but the 9vac power supply was too much of a pain back it the day. I had a quick shoot arm like on James too - those were really well built arms.
This is a flash back to Feb, 9, 2013 It was the beginning of Captain Ann Droid and learning about EZ Robot. Luv it! I did not post or share this on EZ Robot before.
This was a IRobot demo command sent to Create with a serial command sent from EZB3, with a virtual wall on my foot, when Ann had foam arms! Later she developed aluminum fabricated arms. Create users
Say("starting follow home demo, I will, hunt you down!") SendSerial(D0,57600,136,6) This command will end or you can send the following command
Say("stopping current demo") SendSerial(D0,57600,136,255) ControlCommand("IRobot Commands", ScriptStart, "initialize")
