Friday Night Robotics – Ninja Turtle MANOI

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Friday, March 27th, 2009

My primary goal of this FNR was to start getting MANOI ready for the RoboGames.

I made motion models of MANOI running in my notebook (I like to do motion modeling on paper, just like AI), and coded it into Arduino.

The new motions didn’t really make a running motion, however the results were quite funny. I will post a video later of it. :D

The next part that I worked on was MANOI’s shell. Originally, two years ago when I bought MANOI, I wanted a white shell. I’ve changed my mind since then, and I wanted a green and blue shell.

I used the same paint that I use on my Styrobots!

I used two coats of paint on each shell part to make it look nice and green!

Eyes are blue!

I was going to do the entire shell, but it was getting too hot in the room. This is the end result:

It looks like a ninja turtle!
