Robotics

Yeah I like electronics I'm not an expert but I know the ways. I'm gonna study it next year

 

I'll just leave a comment here. I am in IT class, having a little robotics school circle. I would be glad to hear some interesting stuff you may post.

 

Me definitely! I am learning myself building robots at home with the arduino and raspberry pi. I just started a couple months ago but learning tons. I've build a couple small things but am working slowly building one that can walk, recognize faces and talk kind of like that Nao robot (just google it) What kind of project are you planning?

 

ohhh!! we (me and a group of friends) are also building a mini sumo
but the parts are over at someone else's place so no pictures. But cool!!

I'm gonna study electrical engineering at the Institute of applied science and engineering

 

@Adam Verner Thats awesome! I hadn't seen a sumo before. Is that a kit or did you make the body yourself? I'd love to see the sketch and how it's programmed once your done. What kind of motors are you using for the wheels?

I saw a tutorial on youtube to shape PVC pipe and thought it might make decent parts for a robot body in another project.

This was my last project, out of lego as it was only a temp bot to get some stuff off the roof which worked. Arduino, IR controlled, with a distance sensor behind the shovel to stop it from falling off the roof...

 

Nice job on the body, aluminum can be a pain to get right without good tools! I don't need plans though. My next bot is going to be a autonomous BB-8 modified from a similar one I saw off youtube (as soon as I figure out a few more things first).

 

Whoa Where did you get the schematics for that robot, sumssense?

 

I'm glad you like it! No schematics I did it all my self. The electronics were the easy part... building the lego body strong enough was the tough part. This was about the 5th version of the body.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer
