Builder of Life Size Robots: Slip ring wiring R2D2

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/07/slip-ring-wiring-r2d2.html

Thursday, July 22, 2010. Slip ring wiring R2D2. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We must wait my friend. As we speak there are hundreds of us working on our robots in our garages and basements. Each day they grow more complete, more functional, stronger. Soon they will be strong enough to strike. When that day comes, when they are all finished, there will not be a force on the planet to stop us. They will roll down every street in every city to seize power from the weak humans. We will take the power!

Builder of Life Size Robots: Jumped the gun

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-sure-jumped-gun-on-last-blog-entry-i.html

Sunday, August 8, 2010. I sure jumped the gun on the last blog entry I posted this morning. I don't think I've ever posted twice in the same day but today was one of those days I considered finding some Jawas to see what I could trade R2 for. It was crazy. I had to dust off my DOS skills to CHKDSK the drive and cleanup the corrupted files. Geez! Aw mines having issues she takes off on her own. Weve narrowed it down to the speed controller.

Builder of Life Size Robots: Post Script - 4 years later

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2014/12/post-script-4-years-later.html

Saturday, December 20, 2014. Post Script - 4 years later. Well, it's been a little more than 4 years since I posted the last blog entry here. Since then, all robots have been sold and are happily living all around the country. The B9 Lost in Space robot now resides in a conference room of a successful Robotics company in Indiana . the kind of robotics that run in factories and manufacturing facilities. I still occasionally build robots but they are more abstract art creations and some of them will reside...

Builder of Life Size Robots: My droid sounds like a 1930 Ford Model 'A'

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-droid-sounds-like-1930-ford-model.html

Sunday, July 25, 2010. My droid sounds like a 1930 Ford Model 'A'. After an entire weekend of wiring and rewiring R2's electronics, I'm starting to realize that one of the components has a major problem. The vmusic2 sound module seems to be the weak link because instead of playing the R2 sounds, it sounds like an obnoxious noisy engine. It's frustrating because there are only 17 days until Celebration V. That sounds like motor boating. These are not a priority order just things you could try). 2) Take th...

Builder of Life Size Robots: Resistance is futile

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/07/resistance-is-futile.html

Sunday, July 18, 2010. Today was loads of fun. First we stopped by a good friend of ours house and took video of his almost completed life size Borg Alcove (from Star Trek). This prop is very cool and very detailed. Later in the day we stopped by R2's #1 fan (Jeremy) and enjoyed hanging out with the 501st at Jeremy's birthday party. His family and friends are the best and we had a ball. What a great day! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We must wait my friend. We will take the power! Giant Robot Proje...

Builder of Life Size Robots: Electronics problem solved

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/08/electronics-problem-solved.html

Sunday, August 1, 2010. That's a project for after Celebration V. Now I have to construct a crate for C3PO that can be lifted with my crane into my truck. We scored tickets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp this afternoon so C3PO will have to wait until tonight for his crate. Long time no see, Ive been real busy with too many projects. Nice Gripper Arm you have there. Sorry to hear about your Vmusic not playing nice. I have the same setup in my R2 and its been working fine. We must wait my friend.

Builder of Life Size Robots: Celebration V was a blast

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/08/celebration-v-was-blast.html

Monday, August 16, 2010. Celebration V was a blast. I've stayed away from the computer for the last week while we were away in Orlando, Fl attending Celebration V which is a massive 4 day Star Wars party. The highlights of the convention for us were the droid races and the droid parade in addition to wrangling R2D2 among all the convention attendees . especially the kids. If I had a nickle for every smile that R2 generated, I'd just about be able to retire. February 19, 2011 at 12:47 PM. When that day co...

Builder of Life Size Robots: You get what you pay for

http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/2010/07/you-get-what-you-pay-for.html

Tuesday, July 20, 2010. You get what you pay for. So after good advice from Todd in Orlando, I disconnected the piece @ @%#@%# cheap amplifier I bought off EBAY and instead hooked up a pair of headphones. All of a sudden everything started working perfectly and the sound problems also went away. So once again cheap ended up being much more expensive in the long run. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
