Robotics Take Two
Thursday, August 26th, 2010While Q continued to refine the original robot, Spy boldly pressed forward to create:
Still not walking, this robot has two new features. As before, two servos allow the arms to move up and down – these arms come with flashlight and propeller capabilities (complete the circuit, and the propeller spins as the arm goes up and down). Spygrandpa pulled out more servos for Spy and Q to improve their robots, but Q was too slow or too busy with other projects. Spy grabbed the extra two.
With the addition of a third servo, Soda Bottle Robot can now turn his head (all the better for the red LED eyes to see you, my dear).
(Why yes, that is my old ear bud holder.)
(Flashlight and propeller on above.)
And the fourth servo enabled Spy’s robot to wag his tail. You know, “so you can tell if he’s happy with you or not”.
Did I not warn you all last year that remote control cars were just the beginning? Mark my words, next year there will be wheels.
