My Beam Bots

Three of my homemade BEAM style robots. The first one is a photopopper, which is a light-seeking solar-powered robot. The second one is a symet, which is also solar powered. It is essentially a solar-powered top. The third one is a BEAM walking robot. This robot uses only one servo motor and is battery operated. All of these bots were made without microcontrollers. The music was also created by me.

your symet doesnt work very well...

[stackemtotheheavens1]

yeah, at this time it only had one solar panel from a calculator, and it wasn't nearly enough. i recently added another one, and it works much better now.

Hey just got parts for a symet it's going to be great yipee oh and by the way it looks like you made modifications on all the bots in the book did u?

[stackemtotheheavens1]

the only bot from the book in this video is the symet. the photopopper and the walker are other designs with some modifications. i will make another video of some newer bots i made that are straight from the book to help people see what they should look like when their finished.

sweet is the book helpful in building beam bots

[stackemtotheheavens1]

yeah, actually its a fantastic book. i really recommend it to anybody who wants to get into BEAM robotics. the projects in it are incredible as well. for example, it guides you through the process of constructing an advanced two motor walking robot with sensors. i recently built that, and im gonna make a new video with my new, more advanced robots.

that walker works great!what caps did you use on on the symet?

[Actionbcool]

@stackemtotheheavens1 Maybe try sizing down the capacitors as well

[keithosmarferrer]

cool bots mate!!! i shall subscribe!

[GeekGuyMJ]

Hey great job making those. Check out my symet video if you get a chance.

i think yout hand froze

[robertmcfunny]

i think that your hand froze

seriously



[whatnottobe]

im working on a photovore, btw does any one recommend FlED LED's or photo-resistors.

[computergeek1996]

would a 6 volt @ 50 mah solar cell work good for this?

[13acurri]

dude thats really stupid

[aaronhendricks55]

i think i got one of those out of a solar powered calculator.
