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! ^_^

Styrobots



    The story of my Styrobots begins with my acceptance into the Stanford EPGY Summer Institutes Artificial Intelligence program for 2008. In order to go there, I needed money! So, I came up with Styrobots.
    All of the money from Styrobots goes towards my Robotic Fund. This enables me to buy parts for the robots that I enjoy creating!
    I appreciate all help! :D
