The Commencement of Pinky

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Friday, March 21st, 2008

I bought some pink paint, and two styrofoam balls this afternoon. :) (I also bought two beanie babys, but that’s besides the point). So, it is the commencement of Pinky! Wahahahahaha…

Work “area” Bottom Snowball Top Snowball Lots of Styro-dust! Almost Interlocking! Need to Sand a Bit More Looks a Bit Better!It can Stand! Sand paper or SNOW paper? Haha Lots of Cleaning … Nooooooo!

Basically what I did today was familiarized myself with how to program the servos with the Arduino more, and I made the two styrofoam balls interlock. This was done buy cutting an ‘x’ into both. On the bottom one, the x was concave. On the top one, the x was convex. They have some ability to move side to side and front to back. Tomorrow that functionality will improve after I trim it up a bit. :)

Hooray for virtual logbooks! ^_^

Robbie the Robot – 100% Clean!

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Friday, March 21st, 2008

100% Clean!

Softpedia just awarded Robbie the Robot (version 022) a SOFTPEDIA “100% CLEAN” AWARD!

That’s pretty neat! I never knew they had those. Although, I have to admit, Robbie does have a virus … a virus to become potentially addictive! Ahah. :) But really, no viruses or spyware or adware. No memory leaks either! And it is 64 Bit. ;D

Well done Robbie!
