Solar powered walking robot III

[Nicz27]

AWSOME!!! ur cool men TUMBS UP

[shyla669]

very sketchy form, but it still works.

[Poketrader5424]

More like crawling robot :)

[batlin]

"dangerous area of CD cases", never expected to see that sentence :D

How did you design that gait? Software simulation or lots of experiments?

[chatj999]

Smallest Solar Robot : youtube.com/watch?v=FsLxg-RCfe­k

[neoferatus]

So dangerus!!! LOL NICE VIDEO!! NICE IDEA!!

[jarniskat]

fool..... way just not use wheels!

The robot is a step beck in development....?

[PL1putnamehere]

CRAWL! CRAWL AWAY LITTLE ROBOT!

[MCM4499]

This is so cool. What type of motor and solar panel does it use. Please write back soon thanks.

[jasemali1987]

so epic!

[snerjeck]

I propose you substitute the rear 2 legs for a single wheel. Slap a servo on that wheel and you can steer it a bit too. Just an idea.

[veetimuikkuli]

why should I try it's easy! and if you want to try to know everything

[kittyluver513]

awesome... i wonder what would happen if you raced it against a turtle.... =3

[SuperWizTech]

imma get there just w88 for mee....

[mariya209]

Awesome work... really like it..

[MrSurfsAlot]

lmfa at how it walks , so sick

[EpicDorky]

the first 1 looks like it dieing n trying to not give up on life :P

[JosePino]

@EpicDorky

Indeed.

[johnpham117]

the robot looks mentale lol

[TheSolarSkater]

i like how its crawling

[FoT0N]

it looks a fat animal... or a turtle ^^

[chickenhead26026]

sick nice

[TheCoocooi]

Awesome!

[soccerkratos]

is that the beer song in the background???

[alexcendejas]

Very nice, I am just checking some videos of walking robots because I'm planning on making one. I thought about using 4-bar mechanisms too! but the ones I had planned were a little different. Why don't you add some sensors and stuff? It'd be nice ^^

[truestyleoutlaw]

yaaay robot turtle!!

[Ameleria]

Yes, it is quite hilarious, a solar powered walking TURTLE robot.

[DillonSeavers1]

can it climb everest lol

[nirajahowen]

is like a tortoise

[stupid0rigami]

just like an old man starving...

hahax...

[Dominoe11112]

wow great invention, just wondering. Whats the song? I have heard it before...

[chillincello]

Carnen Fantesy

[TopracAk47]

hehe

[HailToTheComp]

it looks like the way a turtle walks. you should give it a little turtle body. haha.

[narutopokemonbleach]

put lego guys on there

[Zblj1987]

It just doesnt wanna give up! :) Did you try the lego solar cell?

[JosePino]

No, I was not able to get the Lego Solar Cell. Quite expensive, so I did cut one lego wire and attached it to a regular solar cell.

[80CJ5]

Have you tried using the worm gear to transfer the power from the motor to the leg gears. It' might give you more torque and a more fluid motion.

[JosePino]

I did try with the gear worm with previous "walker" versions, but I don't like to use it as erodes the gears more than the regular ones. I do use the worm gear for low-torque applications.

[MrStealth4]

All that power of that small solar panel? Wow! What voltage and amperage controls?

[JosePino]

Solar cell: 3.5 Volts ( 4.4 full sunlight) about 20 mA)

[MyCoolman12345]

he use resistors to get the high voltage duh!

[busterpiggle]

Roboturtle!

[poierpal]

Very awesome! looks like all you need is some traction or shoes on those legs/ legos HA!

[lolgam200]

dude that is made from legos!!!! AWESOME!!! Btw, does it have an on board computer?

[JosePino]

No, no computer. Just gears, a motor and the solar panel.

[josdewittes]

yea very dangerous area's,

nice music btw.:p

[Deep40000]

It looks like its trying to say "WATER!"

[NoiseyEagle2]

your right it dose

[NUCLEARSHIT]

nice work! Btw watch my video about a six legged robot i built today

[dav1dh0ff]

i love the dangerous cd cases. sweet little machine!

[TylerMonaco]

good job! A+++++

[rbaleksandar]

It looks like beaten dog. :D But a nice one. :P And like the music that you've chosen. Makes me laugh while watching this. :)

[leonardbiba]

Dam this thing can walk over cds dam i can even do that -.- lmao

[obeedobee16]

really good! i'm a beginner in solar robotics so i'm impressed reallly easily, but i bet thats not easy!

[PCSoftware]

The attack of the killer turtle! lol

[ClubPenguinNinjaHelp]

Awsome legoes!! =)

[masterpaperaircrafts]

Amazing!

[bakajr3]

run fatty run!!!!

[geheim83]

cool

[newbe6bedford]

Man that is going sooo fast i think it just broke the sound barrier lol

[101DeadShot]

I made something like this once..

Except, it rolled more then walked. It was basically a car; like bigger gears to smaller to go faster. It uber fast :D

[FireRupee]

Ahah! Legos. You should cap the ends so that the legs don't grind down from the friction and rough surfaces and for the extra traction and weight. Also, it looks like the back legs dragged a bit much. Did the Lego set come with the cell or did you have to add that on after?

[JosePino]

Great tips, thanks.

LEGO sells a solar cell for their kits, but I was not able to sell my arm to buy it. I got the solar cell from a garden light and glue a LEGO connector to it.

[minirockettube]

is this mindstorm???

[JosePino]

Yes, Mindstorms RCX 1

[JosePino]

Yes. Mindstorms RCX

[TheGreenDuck3000]

ha i wanna make one! if this was a real person it would be relly fat and lazy ha

[Jsfmd2050]

So pathetic!I will cheer for the movement it has made.Common on!Little cute spyder!

Well the music is also cute and pleasant

[cosmicfire69]

how do u make it?

[JosePino]

Using Lego Mindstorms and many nights trying to figure how to make it.

[ClayKlot1]

SO CUTE!

but where am I suppose to find a small solar panel and motor for it?

[ankit383]

sundance solar or siliconsolar

[FireRupee]

ClayKlot1-- I was going to say Radioshack, but I'm not sure they'd have one strong enough.

[hmcg123]

try Quality Deal Electronics they have this solar panel for good price

[ubermario64]

lol dangerous areas. sweet machine man!

[seth553]

I have a fondness for the first one. I love how deliberately it moves.

[macrumpton]

Nice Work!

I moves a little like a person crawling on the ground.

[CrockettDave]

I like it. He walks cool! What is the spec of the solar panel you used?

[JosePino]

It is a 3Volts 80mA Solar cell.

[CrockettDave]

I like it. He walks cool!

[valdirdf]

Olá. Montei o relógio com PIC do seu site. Ficou excelente. Gostaria de saber se existe uma maneira de desinverter os displays de minutos, pois uso display colados e não tem como separá-los. outra coisa: fala português ou spañol? :-) Obrigado! . Opps: Uso o relógio em minha sala.

[Proneural]

Well done man... pretty sweet

[rfengr]

nice..
