Showing off : here's my 50$ Robot design:

PS:
1) finished the construction, waiting for the AVR Programmer (this week)
2) waiting for opinions

nice! clean and professional looking, too!

got any in-progress pics? what method(s) did you use to make the parts?

where are the photoresistors? what are your plans for the headlights?

Got ya!
Don't have any in-progress pics...

Worked to slowly to thought making pictures...
Those aren't headlights

) , but it's a nice idea of which I'll think about

. Those are the photoresistors

I've put them in the heads of 2 flash lights I dessambled. The case's walls are made of 3mm thick plastic plate. The front wheel is manualy made (the system of the supermarket carriage's front wheels.

Thank you for the "pro" qualifying.

Trying to be...

Thank you!

Yes. It cost me even less than that (the robot itself), but I spent some extra-money on something that is not in those 50$, like the Universal AVR Programmer (25$).

oh that make sense. did you have that chasis custom made. you probably have a friend that can do that stuff right? or i guess you could probably do it too. i am really amazed at how good it looks. i didn't catch was this your first robot? do you have a video yet? ok i'll stop asking questions. good job once again!

Impressive

How did you get the edges rounded off like that? They make it look so clean and .. just...well awesome! You should really make an in depth tutorial for I dunno the tutorial contest.

Once again great job i just cant get over how great it looks.

OMG it looks cool!

razvanc_roro · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2007, 11:58:38 AM »

Thanks very much for you opinions and apreciation. And YES, it is my first robot (design> the base of this design is still Admin's John).

Bravo Razvan!!!

I looks awsome! I didn't cach this topic right away, but now I'm glad to see it. I'm proud to see another romanian building such a nice robot! Way to go!

Thats freakin awsome...

Me to thought it was 2 headlights there..

But when i looked closer i could see the photoresistors.
And YEAH! you should really use that robot in the upcoming contest. But if you dont have any "in progress" pictures it might be a little hard (If the admin requires it)
Any how, im thinking of making a RC walking robot..

I just saw a movie on this page and it gave me a idea of a hand looking gripper.

If this is yours first robot then how will look third?

cooldog · « **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2008, 06:27:20 AM »

I'm finishing up my first robot also. Mine will not look any where near as cool as yours

izaktj · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2008, 03:20:43 PM »

It was under $50? how come? My $50 robot will cost about $99

Trumpkin · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2008, 08:57:45 PM »

I got $18 servos triple or quadruple of everything for the microcontroller ( the extra Atmega8s really came in handy) I bought a $12 scanning servo an IR rangfinder usb to serial that doesn't work with pony prog and a set of standoffs.

Trumpkin · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2008, 09:24:17 AM »

Admin I think u should put in your tutorial that some usb to serial adapters don't work!

Admin · « **Reply #21 on:** January 24, 2008, 10:52:03 AM »

I wrote in it that it was a theory we had . . . but I guess enough of you have had the same problem that I will post something like:

"ponyprog does not work with USB adaptors"
