About time...2010

I know, I know, it's been over a year since I put some stuff up. Well, I have been busy (ODU Master's grad in Fall- ONE MSIM class left!) and my students have been going full throttle too. Congrats to the Animatronics National First Place dudes - great successes lie ahead for ya'll as college freshmen! I'll get A.Y.S. up on the next post. With a number of 2010 students projects, I'll post these now and more in a few weeks. The Quadrover (HONDA DOV gas powered hydraulic bot) has a bad microcontroller board... maybe this will work to push the brakes....

PARALLAX Propellar 3 microcontroller board - thx C.C.

Seen here w/ 3D CAD mouse (awesomeeeeeeeeeeee) from 3D Connexxion and, the infamous black eagle.

All black Imperial R2-D2 'CanDroid'- left and right gear box wheel systems, head rotates, laser engraved shoulder 'tops'; lights, manipulators and end effectors are in the design phase (2011 stus), and yes, an afro is attached to the top.

Thx CanMan

Ah yes, the TEAM 769 C0ld Ph0enix (FIRST 2004) drivetrain flipped upside down for a remake. This idea then grew into a full on passion for launching t-shirts (footbal, soccer and Tides games hopefully). It runs on 2 or 3 12V, 22A batteries to keep the 2 compressors at capacity and you could sit on it like a go kart cuz of it's torque at the wheel.

And we have =-]

Thx to C.C. and the whole group of Senior Robotix students of 2010
