hello all
After a long building time (uncounted houres during one and a half year) I
finally assembled my Johnny Five robot the first time.
This was a great feeling looking to the robot and I will share this with you.I
found a lot of inspiration on Lugnet and Bricklink.
J5 is made of 8 modules and his total weight is about 13 kg. I think its a large
style model :-) It uses a number of motors and gears:
- 5 in each arm (shoulder, upper arm, ellbow, wrist, hand)
- 3 for the head (turn, two pistons)
- 2 for the treads
- 1 for the upper body
It was my intension to build J5 as close as possible to the "real" J5
(http://www.johnny-five.com).
My special thank is going to Eric Sophie and Rosco. Eric's JAMA gave me the
"kick" to start buildung J5 using LEGO and learnd me a lot of construction
technics. And Rosco showed me the idea for the treads with his MOC CC2800.
J5 is not almost finished now. There are a ot of little things waiting to be set
up right. I also have to wire the electrics and learn to programm RCX.
I also have to re-construct the joint for the upper body, It is to weak to hold
the whole weight of the body, arms and head.
The pics are located on brickshelf
