Home made robots (kind of) made out of junk.

I know the first one is a flash light. Secondly the other two that blink are watch batteries, wire, pipe cleaner, tape, and leds. The big un' is a rotory motor, wire, 9 vlt lead, 9 volt, part of a door lock, more wire, a led, and tape. Easy to make I just slapped them together out of crap laying around. No I didn't make the beagle ;P. As far as the non beagle things you can probably look at the stills and figure out how I did it. On the LED, the long diode wire is +, the short is -, that is the most complicated part.

what did u use for the sensors or are they just switches????

[ortamenx]

"Area sensors" I bent guitar wire and used the anodes ends as loops. The wire is inside the loops, so it blow on the wire, touch it, shake the table the connects with the loop and completes the circuit, so very basic "sensors" are context related switches you could say..

how you make that 0:26 ?

[ortamenx]

It requires a watch battey, two leds, and a piece of small thin wire, for the basics. You put the short sides of the LEDs to the bottom side of the watch batter. Bend the small thin wire (I used guitar string) to a V put it on the top side, I used electrical tape but hot glue should work I would think. Then you bend the long sides of the LEDs into tiny loops and position the V bent wire through them, so then the wire moves it touches the Bent LED loop wire. The rest is tape and pipe cleaners.

nice but what's robotic on that?

[ortamenx]

One can move around, and two can sense thier enviroment, very basic functions.

@benjaminavalos light edmitting diod basicly its a small light bulb that runs on 3 volts

[justinmason100]

@amacourius its simple i think its just a pager moter with a watch battery and then the boddie and also the watch battery is also wired to the led

HOW DO YOU MAKE CYCLOPS???!!!

i like it

robots

intresting



[kingmcbrian]

im reaaally against the use of this word as a man. . .but , your robots are sooooooo cute! :) :P

[benjaminavalos]

what is a led

[R10abbas]

how did u make CYCLOPS..its intresting..

[MrKeptn]

make a vid on how to make them please please ooo please i love the toys that are flashy and react on ur tuch :D
