Roberta 1

Post by cpunches »

She's no Caprica 6, but Roberta 1 is almost mobile. The thrust bearings were a pain to get printed correctly, but they work great. This bot is based on this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:114349

@John - calling her Roberta 1 because that was better than "Robot 1", originally the treads were pink too.

I think that it's cute. Now you need to build a Robert, put Robert and Roberta in the same room, wait 9 months and you
can have a bunch of them. That's what I call true self replicating. You did remember to print the reproductive parts?

John, it's an EZ Robot based bot where the main logic board is controlled by a host program via bluetooth. I have some pink ABS, but after I printed the first 106 tread links in and then discovered that I needed to scale the z height on them a bit I ended up printing them in white which is what I had on the printer at the time ;)

Eaglesoar - nice idea for a Robert lol. I'm actually putting this bot together to be the mobile counterpart of this guy: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:61796

Which I plan to use along with a complete home automation unit I'm attempting to put together. My ultimate goal is to have a central system (called the Master Control Program hahaha) which can use these bots to interact via speech, and touch screen interfaces located around the house.

You're not going to call it "Just A Rather Very Intelligent System"??
Never do anything you don't want to have to explain to the paramedics.

If I can get the tread tension adjusted correctly I will be able to finish assembly by adding the ultrasonic sensor and camera.

I've got two. The first I got from EZ robot, the second I just got recently from Makershed.com for a sizable discount. You can't buy from EZ right now as they are getting ready to release a new kit soon.
