MANOI’s Numerous Tune-ups

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

MANOI has been moving around lately. I’ve been bringing it from one place to another, which does have some wear and tear on the wires.

The first time I tried to bring it somewhere to show everyone, it was super cold and a lot of the wires snapped! (It didn’t work) =P

MANOI regularly has trouble with one of its servos, which is also completely annoying.

Currently, MANOI’s servos are either connected by the servo cable itself, or there are jumpers. These jumpers can be tedious at times as they can fall out, and not work. At this point, what MANOI really needs are real servo extension cables. :D

Thanks to a donation I received, I am ordering 7 of them! Hopefully they will be here by Friday.

I’m also trying to adjust the center of gravity again. I have to find a better way of attaching the Arduino and SSC-32 together, and then attaching that to its back.
