Incredible wooden mechanical machines video

Have a look at the engineering that has gone into some of these machines. I especially like the gearbox mechanism on the 2nd video to change from raising to extending the arm.

Some questions from a beginner.

Hi Everyone,

First, thanks for taking the time to read the forum and answer questions from new guys. I know it's sometimes a pretty thankless task, despite being very time consuming!

 The site looks like an excellent resource, and when I have the time I shall read it more thoroughly. In the meantime I have some quite simple questions about a robot that I'd like to build.

Video editing issues

So a lot of people want to use the lmr watermark on their videos, but how do we do it?

Please comment what programs you use to edit your videos, and I will use my connections toget information on each one. Maybe we can get a little FAQ going on this guys!

I think there is something that Rik isn't telling us...

Live video streaming for remotely operated robots, solutions?

Nicola's picture

Hello!

I recently tried a small videocamera like this one, and i must say that, despite the low quality, they do a decent job, except when heavily shaked.

Now, the main problem is that they have a limited range, and that they have a radio signal on their own, separated from the main robot control. This means that you cannot make a program that behave based on the images, and that the two radio signals can have different ranges.

Searching for robot videos on youtube I came across this japanese guys profile. The quadruped in the video has a really interesting leg structure, not to mention the extra drive wheels. Check out the videos, it just looks and moves amazing!

Before I start making and sharing videos: Which video service would you recommend?

Radio video emmiter

I've posted something similar to this, but the previous question was how to convert a USB connector to a normal video connector, the question now is how to transmit video through radio.

What I want to build is a radio emmiter and a radio reciver for this purpose, sending ONLY video to transmit from a camera to a TV.

Does someone know how to build this and what I need to do so?

 

Video transmission

Hi everyone,

I'm quite new in all of this, but i want to build a robot able to transmit video, and possibly sound. I've got a common webcam and I want to make it wire less, but I don't know how to do it.

I would apreciate any help from you lot.

Thanks.
