Details

MakerBee is a 555 timer controlled vibrobot. The 555 is a timer IC used in it's astable multivibrator mode which causes the LED and the vibrating motor to go on and off at a particular time for short duration or in intervals which causes it to move like a bug. It is powered by two coin cell batteries. The eyes of the bot have a breathing LED effect i.e the LEDs fade in and fade out.

We posted design files on our Github repo.
We also played around with some Blender experiments for renders as well as animations. Turned out pretty nice !
