Actuators / output devices: pololu mini gears
CPU: Arduino
Operating system: Arduino
Power source: 7, 2V 2000mAh
Programming language: Arduino C
Sensors / input devices: infra-red
Target environment: unknown

It’s been quite a while without building robots… errr.. creatures..

anyhow I’m releasing this new creature, wich is still a work in progress.. and since I can’t think on a name for it, I will call it Demann, witch is “unnamed” backwards (without the ‘u’)… sounds like ‘demon’, and for the sake of insanity, it looks like a little demon.. :D

the wheels where designed by Catarina Mota, and if you go to thingiverse, you can download the source code, and print your own wheels if you have access to a 3D printer

pololu mini gears, i strongly advice this motors, very powerfull and fast

this bits will be the motors supports

and after some dremel work they look nice and ready to hold the motors

the chassis, this time I wanted to try wood, it’s quite good to work and to do fast prototyping

et voilá

It isn’t finished yet, but I wanted to share with you :) will add more sensors and more cool stuff as soon as I have time

UPDATE 10-02-2010

Two more infrared sensors were added on the front, this way he’s more sensitive to the environment.

Great job

Nice work this is different to all those other sensor robots

because this one has speed and its compact and i just like

the use of everything.

Good luck in your future of Robot building

Hey Benbo! I would love to

Hey Benbo! I would love to help you, but the makerbot is not with me, and I won't have access to the machine in the next 2 or 3 weeks.. I also want to build one machine for me :)
