Reflection on DIY Robotics: Final robot

Well. Final day, final robot. I worked with two others named Justin and Nicholas. We had a good idea, but it did not come to fruition. The conception and design went flawlessly, but construction failed. We knew what we were going to do, but could not do i...

Lizard walking thing "robot"

Today is my last day of DIY Robotics. Today we built a Lizard Walking Thing “Robot”. It has 3 servos, 1 battery pack, and 1 arduino lilly pad. It was suposed to walk like a lizard but it had a bug in it so it didn’t work very well. We us...

Last Day DIY Robotics

Today, we worked solely on building our Arduino robot. It was basically a 3 wheel vehicle, with the two rear wheels powered by servos. After working for hours, we were finally able to build it. It still has a few bugs, but I guess it was pretty good for o...

lizard bot

Today we built a robot it was fun. First we got most of our supplies together then we had to wait until Mrs. Fabiola got our servos and Arduino lily pad. We waited for the parts and after lunch we worked on our robot. the only problem was the lily pad had...

Hacking a DVD player

BENDING A DVD ———- After we destroyed our phones and headphones and whatnot, we destroyed bigger things, like dvd players and fax printers. We decided to break into a DVD player, (not the best choice in my opinion). We took all the screw...

Junkbot 2

Hey, during the weekend me and my cousin Ryan finished my Junkbot that I was trying to make in the DIY robotics class. It turned out pretty good. It is basically a brush bot but it’s a better design; it has two orange wires as antennas (answer me if...

Day 3: Junkbot

The majority of our day today was spent going through piles of junk and turning it into sculptures or robots.  I made a robot that spun around incredibly fast, with LEDs to draw circles in midair.  The original idea had plans for 2 arms protrud...

Day 3:building junk bots

Today I built a junk bot. Mine is just an art piece. It was hard getting the right pieces to actually make it do anything. After awhile of trial and error I figured out that I could stick the robot’s feet(the ink cartridges)could stick on the thing ...

Non stop Nyan Dog (the 3rd)

———-Today we assembled a junk bot with junk like nails, LED screens, and other things like that. I made the eyes, catapulting items and got the materials, Sam made the catapult and body, and Alec made the head. Our robot does nothing mor...

Junkbot

We built a junkbot on the 20th of July. A junk bot is made out of just a bunch of parts but doesn’t have to move, it is pretty much just modern robot art. I made a little robot frog, it is hopefully going to be able to vibrate when I  attach a mic...

last day arduino arm

I made an arduino arm that u connected a pencil to. you could connect it to a computer and by putting in the right code you could make it draw.At first the structure was made of cardbord and it couldnt hold the servo motors, so we replaced it with sheet m...

Making a Robot

We worked on making a robot. We  wired an adruino board to several servos in order to run makeshift wheels. The servos had to have their stoppers removed, and the wheels were made from Skippy bottles. We made the frame from a pasltic component
