The one motor walker - BEAM robotics

[paulosnake22]

eeyy explicate bien como lo fabricasz daaa'¡

[vampirelord1217]

Damn that is a good idea mmm seem very complicated i guess u are using a two way motor

Watching that crippled robot walk brings a smile to my face

[ButtomFACE]

That robot has a disability.

[whatnottobe]

are you "robomaniac" on instructables?

[JeromeDemers]

@whatnottobe Yes, I am Robomaniac on instructables!

[whatnottobe]

@JeromeDemers my symet is powered using a 3v solar cell, and uses a FLED solar engine and the motor is from a ps2 controller. when i put it under the light it will twitch once then a high pitched noise comes from the motor or robot and it stops moving. i dont know what to do any advice, btw this is my first beam robot. send me a reply comment or message please and thanks!

[whatnottobe]

@whatnottobe never mind i just solved the problem. i used an old solar cell from a calculator that is exactly a fouth of the size of the solar cell i was using before. i just add another one and that will cut the voltage down on a 50th percentile

[patrickikis]

If that thing was chasing me, I'd shit a brick! Even being so small, I'd be afraid!  Cool project!

[whatnottobe]

does it use bicore?

[JeromeDemers]

@whatnottobe yes!

[speedygamez]

Handicap robot! Nice project though

[Mrheartlockar]

hey, cud u pls tell me tat is it possible to make baipadle robot with single motor!!!

[computermedic64]

@Mrheartlockar yes it is

[h34evr]

mate put 4 wheels and a turbo in it and ya dun

[packoftwenty]

It would have moved much faster if you had used rubber feet, and a rubber surface...

[JeromeDemers]

@packoftwenty The rubber feet can help and be a problem. I have play with different feet design. It's a science.

[mrmasterdocterchef]

its getting away catch it

[galopante78]

your works inspired my projects. i just found another way to make the robot walk and i'm so glad with it. my obsession now is to put reverse sensor for the bot.

[MarshFacev2]

This is interesting but it looks a bit like a waste of a servo. Because it's going back and forth this could be done with a regular dc motor and gearbox on a crank (meaning that although the legs are changing direction the motor isn't). But it would be difficult trying to fit in such a mechanism.

[JeromeDemers]

@MarshFacev2 That robot was done back 10 years ago, simple CHEAP gearbox was hard to find back then ( I was also 16). The most easy way to get a simple gearbox was a servo. That is why. Also the servo have this nice rectangle casing which is easy to mount stuff to it. I am sure we can build a crank system. I have a new one motor walker now, it is much better and much simpler! :) I will post video one day. Fine tunning.

[keithosmarferrer]

can you post another video of what you call "much better and simpler" one motor walker?

[kennyvsspenny24]

It's like a retarded animal!

[JeromeDemers]

@kennyvsspenny24 HAHAHA! Good one! :P

[NebraskaBlakshirts]

you need to get the bottom of the legs beter traction then it will go faster

[ovandocarter]

impressive

[Y0ts0]

as nice as beam robots can be ^^

[GreenAce92]

can it turn?

[antischool35]

i need the same

[ryanreyesskates]

lol that was hilarius

[EvaLasta]

nice nice

[hmcg123]

cool walker where did you get the parts?

[JeromeDemers]

I have salvage the gear from a VCR.

Bought the servo motor and the electric components.

Check out intructables for the tutorial.

Thanks!

[chaosman96]

cute, i want one

[mattbellamysbliss]

thats great ignore this guy vvv

[adrastea99]

weak

[ItsThatScienceKid]

@adrastea99 lets see you do better

[adrastea99]

@ItsThatScienceKid

Many people already have

[inukami23]

@adrastea99, yeah, but he said YOU do better.

[adrastea99]

@inukami23

Why?
