Inspiration
Concept
Our concept was to create a useless robot!
* At first we wanted to make a 'spy robot' what we showed during the first presentation. After a group meeting after that, we decided to make a useless robot.
Sketches
During our second meeting together we came up with a sketch of the useless robot. The plan was to make a robot that could drop skittles and pick it up again. It has a wheel that will pick the skittle up, drops it in a funnel that is connected to a tube and drops it on the floor.
Building THE useless robot
STEP 1
We bought two toy cars from the Action that we disassembled. We used the two motors and the wheels for our robot.
We needed:
- arduino
- servo motor
- battery
- wood
- beads (?)
STEP 2
We all designed components for the robot in Illustrator, made prototypes and lasercut them at the Citylab.
STEP 3
BUILD!
It was finally time to bring all those lose components together and build & test our robot!
