Robot Diagram

Notes for new post

  • Improvement over old bot -- show vid

  • Goals: smoother balancing, remote control (fun!). I want to be able to re-use as much of this as possible in future projects (robot arms, robo dogs?)

  • Hardware: better IMU, BLDC, Perfboard, pwoer tool battery, direct drive (no gearing for now), begin making the motor "platform" that can be reused for future bots, Teensy(?)

  • Software: probably PID, but allow tie in with RL

  • BLDCs

choosing the battery. choosing the motors. choosing the drivers. choosing the rotary encoder. the imu. the mcu.

Motor Drivers

Motors / Wheels

Starting with wheels I have a set of 62.5mm diameter wheels and an 80m set. Assuming the robot is approximately 1kg

Getting Started

I made a robot and it was cool and stuff.

Here are some reasons it is cool.

  • It's blue
  • It's a robot
  • It's blue

How it works

void makeRobotGo() {
  robot.go();
}
makeRobotGo();

Here is a picture of a robot arm base for some reason
