I like it. That is amazing. Btw what happens if you pick up the king with your hand?
-
how would you get the pieces to move
-
i played a game at maker fair once
-
It's amazing!!! WOW!! Where can I order this one?
Great work..better than my Novag 2Robot ;)
-
It takes forever to play! 8 moves in 5 minutes?! It's ok to test and have fun, but I can't wait these robots to walk
-
teach me your ways
-
wow, this is amazing!!!
you're just about to invent wizzard's chess!
Anyway, such a shame the slain don't magically dissapear,
or maybe a trapdoor system would make them dissapear soon enough?
(getting them back would be a bit of a problem though, I reckon, but maybe you magicians could work that out?)

How do the king and rook castle?

This is actually brilliant o_o
I wanna play that xD
Thanks for sharing this :)
Is it possible to move as many pieces as possible during resetting of the board to minimise the time taken to reset?

@omachiyogi The PC uses Bluetooth to communicate with the pieces, and BT only allows 7 connections at a time.

i could just see testing this would could get crazy at times if the robots started doing things unexpectedly.

Great idea with the coloured squares on the chessboard. And I had to giggle at the knight's moving legs. I noticed at one point (during reset) some of the pieces moved back and forth without rotation. Perhaps that could be implemented during the game (ex. with the pawns making way for the knight) to save a bit of time?
Overall, this was interesting and must have been fun (after all the hard work)

@yellowdudette We are working on a few refinements to speed up the movement. We do have code in the robots to allow them to drive "backwards" to get back into place. Good ideas. Thanks
