robots

I was out for the weekend and it seems there was a lot of talk on this subject. It happened that I had one of my bee hives swarm and I had trouble retrieving it. However, this gave me a thought of changing the theme a bit: Robotic Bee Colony. 

You may have read my idea for a Mini Robotic Ant Farm. I just re-read it yesterday and today I had a new thought:

Online RoboCraft!

Over 350 robotics related events throughout Europe with more than 130 participating organisations from 19 European countries

28th of November – 4th of December 2011

http://www.eurobotics-project.eu/eurobotics-week/eurobotics-week-2011.html

I was looking through the Robots section on this website. I noticed a lot of posts (mostly old) of never started robot projects. These have pictures of parts, or hand drawn concept pictures, etc but the finished product never got completed for whatever reason.

Myself and a local member of a hackerspace in Detroit recently started a new website devoted to robotics in Detroit. Right now the site is brand new, with really no content. So what I'm asking you to do is to sign up on the site, create a couple posts, etc just to generate some content. I'm not asking you to leave LMR, just check the site out (whats there anyways) and if you're proficient at drupal send me a PM, so you can help out the site too! Thanks.

Heya LMR folks,

I'm thinking of having a G+ hangout session tomorrow around 10am pst(I'm in California), 1pm est, UTC -7(I think).

If you want a gmail invite, send me a request by 9:45am and I'll send in invite your way and have a gmail account I can send it to.

I was thinking of just shooting the breeze, talking about bots, projects, and just general stuff.

maybe it'll be something, maybe it'll be just me some ambient noise....we'll see!  :)

 

Edit: modified time.

Hmm, I decided to come here on the off chance some one might be able to give me some advice.

I wouldn't say I'm an "absolute" beginner as I do have some experience with robotics, but its only been from kits, I haven't built and programmed something from scratch yet. Over the years I have collecteda great deal of items which I feel may be useful to create some form of robot, but its hard to know exactly where to start. Here are the details as follows:

Well I like to paintball with sum buddies and its getting bigger all the time so I have been involving robotics and electronics in paintball /airsoft.

-http://letsmakerobots.com/node/25679 (ill try to get my robot post on that one going, almost done :] )

So Im sorta running out of ideas that are worth using and cheap enough. 

For example-http://letsmakerobots.com/node/23474 i learned it was a little too expensive for me - a kid- to make and experiment.

Found this while searching for documentaries about robots;

It's about the FIRST robotics competition, quite interesting.

Hi this is just a forum for any beginners who want to build Cluster Bots

So I've decided to build my first robot which not the LMR "start here" one (that one is going to be my second one) and im using this circuit- http://costaricabeam.solarbotics.net/Circuits/Vores/555%20Photovore.png . I've tried about 10 different designs for the body but its just not working. When i cover the left photocell with my hand and the other one is exposed to light the speed of the motors is the same and same with the right photocell. has anyone tried the circuit? did it work?

Hi everyone! First let me just say I love this site.It's an enormous wealth of information for an enthusiast like me. I have a few concerns with a project I am working on and would love a little input.

I was wondering if there is a section here on RC robots?

I have a 'my first robot' type robot and eventually want to be able to RC it as well as make other RC robots. 

Hi All,

I haven't decided if I should use this as inspiration for my first robot project, but I just might. Be sure to check out the video.

Enjoy!

i'm working on AGV project rite now.low cost AGV.i'm totally dont have knowledge in software part that is programming part?especially to do the coding for the robot.but for hardware part is not a problem to me.can somebody help me with the coding part?i'm using atmel microcontroller and will attach with stepper motor.for sensor i'm using ultrasonic for obsctacels sensor.

 hello everybody here...!!!

Actually m from india . speaking straight, " i can't spend much but also can't live without robotics".

so please give me some advices to not to kill my love towards robotics. i m a student of electronics but here in my college we do not have such facalities for electronics students. so please guide me about how to begin and what resources to use to get over the money problem. 

i really need your help.......!!!!

Dear Robot enthusiasts,

Hello all!  This is my first question on here so please feel free to critique my writing style.  

Check it out everyone. We had our first Arduino class. I was excited to see how many parent & child participants showed up. We were expecting 12 total but had double that!

Here are some photos.
