This is Drone,
the first one I built. It is pretty much fully functioning now, although I still need to
add a couple more bottom-facing IR sensors. |
 |
This is Seeker,
my stealth autonomous mini-sumo. It is almost finished. Update - I have
discontinued work on Seeker -- it has some subtle design flaws, so I have
replaced it with Seeker II, seen below... |
 |
This is Seeker II,
my new stealth autonomous mini-sumo design. Seeker II has had a nice run
(5 years), so its time to replace it with a new one... |
 |
This is
Seeker IIx, which will replace Seeker II
as my "stealth autonomous mini-sumo". I'll replace the CAD render
with a real picture once it is finished. |
 |
This is
Seeker III, my latest full sized sumo
design. |
 |
And here are Seeker and Drone
together --
Seeker has the first coat of paint on the shell, and Drone has the two IR sensors mounted,
and is fully operational as a mini-sumo robot. Drone is a little overweight now -- I had
to add two more AAA batteries, and with those and the two IR ranger-finders, it weighs in
at about 550 grams, so I need to put it on a diet :-) There are a few places I can change
materials and remove excess material, and I should be able to bring the weight down to
where it is legal... |
