Trying to get something going in bergerac.

Crappy robots inspired by hebocon.
The more tech, the less value… something like that.

Thinking of something like limiting the power plant to 6V
Thinking of limiting the motors to N10
Thinking of limiting weapons to non-kinetic.

Here is something I have been playing with… Yes it is very tech.

It’s name is Pulque II in honor of my first mini sumo bot.

Stats:
Furby bought at vide grenier for 1 euro.

2* N10 motors, not sure of the ratio.

Eyes are cast resin. If I can get displays or something working at the focal plane, they will focus.

Power is 4 NiMH batteries.

500 mw inverter pops battery voltage up to 5V.

1 HS 45 servo for Angler Fish Light.

Cardboard and horrific Chinese plywood.

.8mm piano wire wheelie bar and anti foreword roll bar

DRV8833 dual H Bridge to drive motors.

Nano IOT 33 microcontroller because I can’t get ESP-32 to compile…

mini OLED Display.

Generic BLE controller.

Software

Bluepad32 library

Custom code for 3 modes of steering, Tank, Arcade and hybrid.
Custom acceleration/deceleration with tau calculated on main loop timing (cool)
