Hello all,
I've posted pictures of my newest robotic creation, RoboArm I.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=16747
RoboArm actually happend by accident, I was tryin to find the simplest
method to drive a turntable using 2 micro motors. I found a solution I was
happy with using only a few parts. Realizing how lightweight this was I
figured it would make a good wrist for a robot arm. RoboArm I was born.
RoboArm I contains 11 motors, and is mostly controlled by Eric Sophie's
Technic Control Center. Thanks Eric :) Pnuematics were used to open and
close the claw. Lego weighted elements (also thanks to Eric) were used in
conjuntion with a battery box to balance the structure. The battery box is
used to fill the blue airtanks.
I tried to explain what the arm can do, except I dont know all the technical
terms to describe the ranges of motion the arm is capable of. It can do
alot, look at the pictures :)
But anyways.. RoboArm I was alot of fun to build, and alot of fun to play
with, I'm thinking of taking it apart real soon so I can create RoboArm II.
My MOC's litterally have a lifetime of less then a week..hehehe

| That is a very impressive piece of engineering. I find it hard to comment on a particular part. It is all very well done. I hope you took a little video of it in action before it is dismantled. What are your hopes for the sequel? -- Bob Fay THE SHOP (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)
