I've started hoarding - Robots!

dubbie

At present I am not panicking but recently I was given a refund for a robot I ordered two months ago, because the company no longer had any stock due to the effects of the Corona virus. As the idea of not having robots to study in a serious and scientific way (otherwise known as playing) caused me some concern, I ordered several more from a source that had them in stock - with the added bonus that they were cheaper than the original one.

I now have plenty of robots to put-together as part of my master plan of creating a herd of walking robots and then subsequently, taking over the world. Still, it wouldn't hurt to have a couple more.

  • May be of interest - Dirk Fox /  Thomas Puttmann have finally published their latest book - Fischertechnik with Arduino.

    https://fischertechnik-roboter-mit-arduino.de/

     

    Flicking through it, there is a design for a self-parking four-wheel buggy like the ones created for the Robotics Cup competitions:

    e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1NIK23P1Ks

     

    Their books tend to look at old designs, does the maths behind them and recreates them using Fischertechnik constructor sets. In this publication he looks at some 1980's pick-and-place robots, pen plotters and buggy's.

     

    It's only published in German text, but the quality of the presentation of the material I find is excellent. There is always Goggle Translate.

     

    I've always thought that they should do a version of 'musical chairs' at Robotics Cup. One less parking bay for each lap of the circuit. Let the chaos commence !  image
