Aliased from Prototype and PrototypeRobot

This page lists some possible prototypes that could be built. Each prototype will include:

• controller: microprocessor or microcontroller used, which might imply which programming language(s) would be available to program the robot
• components: motors, motor encoders, sensors, etc.
• estimated size and weight (we need to come up with some kind of robot weight categories)
• a Bill of Materials (the major components necessary to build the robot — this might not include things like plastic sheet, nuts and bolts, wire, etc. but could)
• estimated cost
• some notion of the difficulty level (not age level!)

Robot Geometry#

Robots come in all shapes and sizes, and can have one or more wheels, tank treads, flippers or propellers, etc.

For example, for wheeled robots there's designs like:

• tank treads
• two-wheeled balancing robots
• two-wheeled differential drive robots with casters (like the KD01 or SR04)
• four to six to eight wheeled robots (like the KR01)
• Ackermann steering (car style) robots, possibly using a radio-controlled car chassis
• mars rovers with rocker-bogie or triple-rocker designs

Some Possible Prototypes#

These are robots currently being designed by Murray:

• the KR01 robot: and derivations thereof
• the KC01 robot: a CircuitPlayground & Crickit based robot
• the KRZ01 robot: using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and PiconZero controller

Feel free to propose/design/build your own, then make a project page for it.
