First step (wobble)
06/04/2020 at 19:48 • 0 commentsThe little robot is quite interesting. Probably more so for a budding teen who can get to grips with it all than a 6 year old and her father who's some sort of engineer already. But this meets in the middle.
The first thing to sort out was to give it a silly hat. Something that between a hat and a bowl seemed a good place to start (as a bowl just sitting on it's head with a Nerf ball in it worked well).
Then the arms - it only had 1. A pair seemed sensible, but modified to allow marbles to skitter about in them.
Now it's more fun to look at and stack stuff on, but the PID could do with a tweak. Well, it could have done with a tweak before increasing it's moment of inertia. That's for next time.
