FREE Dancing Robots


Stewart Dunn will generously be bringing some of his Kre8.com robot kits with him, and is looking for people who want to try their hand at building them and then hooking them up to an Arduino to make them autonomous.  Either bring your own Arduino, or you can use one of the ones that Tinker.it will be supplying on the day (and then buy it if you want to keep it at the end)

 

From Stewart's description on the main page:

Stewart Dunn will bring along  6 simple plastic kits (make in 1/2 hour)  to anybody who wants one to make a simple robot  (then make it dance etc) 

[The idea being to assemble a simple construction kit robot  (about 20cm x 14cm) with two 6V dc motors   and then add an  Arduino to it   - this could be done individually or as a group]

 

Add your name to this page if you want to join the team, and maybe start to brainstorm ways in which you can make the robots "intelligent".  We'll look to get a collection of sensors together to use on the day, but if anyone has any specific ideas then we can make sure the right parts get brought.

These look neat I'm excited to play around with the KR8 system a bit looks like some really cool things could be made.
