I wrote the android App specifically for this project, but it was based on code I used in my Hexapod App.
Those balls appear to use an internal pendulum, in principle it wouldnt be too difficult to reproduce.
That also reminds me, have you seen the neat little, android controlled, rolling balls that the guys at GearBox are working on? Could you build something like that?
Neat project. Did you already have the android application written?
It is a Cybiko.
So which PDA is it? I don't recognize it. Perhaps some other builders would be interested to know. Thanks
Hi Gallamine:
I guess you are talking about the PDA? No the PDA has it's own RF. I had to do a small hack on the KB since the PDA will turn itself off if the keyboard isn't being used. I just couldn't find any software way around it.

Al,
Where did you get your wireless transceiver from? Did you have to hack some electronics and add the radio?
This sounds like a very challenging (and hence very fun) competition. Great job on the bot. Has the event already happened? If so, how did you do?
Very nice looking wheels!
Those are cool!!
MMmm... tank treads. Nice looking kit!
Where could I find the circuit diagrams or any sort of help for building this ?
Hey rinjani,
Welcome to the site! If you're working on any robots, be sure to add them. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!
Very nice.
Good to see some proper engineering in the chassis construction
please sir tell me how to build project 'circuit diagram and kits '
thank you

You can always change the pictures after the fact. The more the merrier, I say! We like to see what folks are building. Besides, if you add it to the parts list, then when you add your robot, you can link to the parts from the robot's page.
All my controllers are homemade. The photos are not very good, so I don't know if you would like to see them on your parts lists?
Hey Al1970, welcome to RobotBox. We love to see what your working on. Be sure to add your projects and let me know if there's any suggestions you have.
I did reply, didn't you get it? I got another comment instructing obsolete information on mobility! SERVOS are too bulky and batteries have long been a problem for Robotics. So, simply replace and subtract weight from robots with SMA (Strength Memory Alloy or "MUSCLE WIRE", NOT that expensive!) ...want more strength? Look in mirror! To get more power from "MUSCLE WIRE", simply increase wires, then twist. It looks like a human muscle. But, why add bulk and weight? Your Robot can easilly depend on you for muscle. Then, "GOODRICH" developed tiny Fiber Optics Gyros for (NASA) guided missles, they ARE marketed to the public. Do a Web search! Get one F.O.G. "Primary" and one "Secondary" (or Back-up) ...ASIMO'S Expensive fall down stairs documented that need! Nice, to replace batteries. Think: KINETICS & LUMENS! Get a cheap "SHAKE LIGHT", shake, then power up. Not too bright. But, get several, do the same and cross beams. More light, right? Now, "Reverse Engineer" same and wire output in series. WOW, some major ESD! NO-BATTERIES. Much less bulk & weight.
@petrel, Thanks for the comments. Leaving the method of propulsion for another project is a good idea for flexibility in allowing the user to select according to their individual needs. However, the draw back is added cost of the platform, mounting hardware, connectors, etc. Please stay posted for more blogs.
I am a retired electrical mechanic. I decided to have a go at building a stair climbing bot. Have now been on this project for 1& a half years.
The mechanicals seem to be the main problem. If I cant get this to work I will go to a tracked system using Vex components.
Robots are pretty much a non event here in New Zealand though we are now geting some competition in the school level. I am also involed with Leggo first. It is great to see the way kids solve some bot problemss.
cheers folks. Kiwi
Excellent design and build, and I really like the long exposure photo.
It looks quite compact for a walking robot. Nice job.
Nicely done
