How to build a robot
It made me
happy.
 "Our first robot, yay!"
How I did it: It was a simply weekend project with the daughter. We used tins for espresso and cough drops, some LEDs and an Arduino microcontroller for making the LEDs blink. We expect this critter to be the first member of our robotic zoo at home.

It made me
Smarter
How I did it: Well the entry I wrote below a while ago basically explains it, but I started using a kit for making a robot, and it was easy to put the pieces together. It took me about an hour and a half and I was enjoying the simple design in no time! Read how I did it…
It made me
proud
How I did it: The western canadian robotics society showed me how to build my own robots at their workshops. The workshops were a few hours at a time and I always learned something new including soldering. Read how I did it…

I don’t even want it to be a functional robot or anything. I just want to make something cool that LOOKS like a robot.

Easy beginner kits

I completed this goal using an easy beginner kit, but I’d really like to be able to do more. Maybe later.

So far I took an RC vehicle and completely replaced the components inside in a modular fashion so I could get a main controller board to control it all. I have a 6-channel aircraft remote that controls it currently and an arduino diecimila that I’m using for a main board. I’m also building a custom interface board to read the channels from the receiver and communicate the values to the arduino via I2C. For the most part I have everything necessary, I just need to get it all fashioned together.
I’ve actually built robots before (including a robotic arm that I designed and built in high school), but this will be my most advanced robot yet.

My first model’s purpose it to scoop things up. It has a mouth made of cardboard.
I built it from a kit, but I used a battery, copper tape, and some wires.. A good start, I think.

Robotic book scanner

Built a robotic book scanner. Surprisingly only took 2 days to build:

Used the LEGO::NXT perl module to control it. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in an accident. We are working on developing a better one:

Lego Mindstorms

Hi bought the lego mindstorms kit and built a couple of simple robots with it. It is great fun, but not had enough time to play with it for a while :(
Its a good kit, if you are wanting to start with something simple I think its worth getting, it has some quite sophisticated sensors and controller. You can even write your programs in Robot C. I was very pleased with myself when I was sitting on my sofa with my laptop on my knee and my robot on the other side of the room and I was debugging its movement in Robot C wirelessly using bluetooth :).

I have a design I have been working on. It has been put on the back burner while I learn about programming and electronics.
