A Colombian Robot [VIDEO]

This winter I went to Colombia.

I wanted to meet electronics people, build cool projects, learn from others and make videos.

Today I published the second and final video from the trip.

Find the two parts here:

Part I: https://youtu.be/hYhQrczSRoU
Part II: https://youtu.be/qvRG4nxt0eU

Do you want to build a robot like this?

Then leave a comment on the video.

If there’s a lot of interest in it, I’ll write a tutorial.

But here’s the overview:

-Arduino as the “brain”
-A simple robot platform with two motors
-An H-bridge to control the motors from the Arduino
-An ultrasonic sensor to make the robot “see”

Then I wrote a simple program that makes the robot spin until it sees an object. Then it stops spinning and goes straight ahead.

The idea was to make a sumo robot.

It’s a robot with the sole purpose of pushing another robot out of a ring.

Kinda like sumo wrestling.

This is a fun project to build along with friends.

Each builds their own robot.

And each put their own magic touch on the code that controls the robot.

Then you compete!
