WOOOO!!!!
Just wanted to thank everyone here for the help you dished out. I finally
made my first robot. He is just a little light seeker but I feel like ive
given birth [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Now my only problem is giving him a suitable body. Currently the poor
little fellow is stuck to a breadboard and the BOE. What do you guys use
when making your chasis? I wish I still had my Erector set from way back
when. I tried to find a place to buy some more but they have gone to the
wimpy plastic kits. Anyone have some suggestions on body making?

hardware shop.
Any model shop should have them as well.
I use mainly 2 or 3 mm thick sheets Its easy to cut and drill. If I want
more than one deck
then I space them out with posts brought from maplins. The hardest part I
found was mounting
the servos I used as motors. Getting them straight and tight so they dont
wobble about and so
that the bot travels in a straight line was quite a challenge.
Allthough my first bot used old CD's for the decks I got the idea from a
website. I cant find
the link at the moment but a search should find some examples.
Have fun

I used BALSA (i don´t know the english word) wood for my first robot. This
kind of wood is used for model planes and can be bought in different sizes.
It is soft wood but you get a lot of strengh by gluing it together. It is
very easy to model it with sandpaper, you can cut it with a knive, or use a
little figure saw. When it is finished you can paint with any paint you have
available in the house
good luck

You can use almost anything you want, depending on the size and strength
needed and the tools you have to cut / drill the material. Since I have
access to machine shop equipment, I built my chassis out of aluminum.
You could use a bowl, pan or plastic plate, a plastic cutting board, wood, a
piece of metal or whatever. Go to the dollar store, K-Mart or a arts and
crafts store and browse around.

the Stamp Carrier Board... I then used foam tape to attach a pair of
servos and a 4-pack of AA batteries to the bottom of it. I made a
simple caster for it... and away it went. Nothing fancy... but it
worked.
Did I ever mention I LOVE DOUBLE-SIDED FOAM TAPE! It may not be that
strong... it may not last that long... but if you've ever glued,
soldered, welded, or even drilled holes and bolted something together
on a robot... sooner or later (probably immediately after mounting
whatever it is) you'll wish you had glued, soldered, welded, or
drilled and bolted it a little bit forward, back, to this side or
that, under there, on top of that, etc. (Am I the only one that
measures twice, cuts once, and STILL messes it up?) :-)
Have fun!

If you're using the "Measure with micrometer, mark with crayon, cut with
chainsaw." method, that could be a problem. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
g.
have to wait too long for it to dry.
...and you are not the only one who messes up the holes -- I have to make at
least two of everything -- one for a prototype, the next one with the holes
in the right place for the finished item.

point on, you will have to buy a Mindstorms kit, and more Lego Technic, then
more Technic, and the next thing you know you're at the pawn shop with your
kid's bike begging for more cash to feed the habit. Trust me, I got help.

It sticks almost anything to anything.
Its fairly strong and when you need to unglue it a knife will cut it.
Last night I glued a ping pong ball onto trundle my first BS1 based bot to
act as the rear caster/skid.
Works a treat with a little polish applied to the ball.
Im going to borrow a digital camera soon so I can put some pictures up on my
website.

Always on the outside of the scribed line and file down to the line.
One of those (Cant remember the name) saws with the thin blades that can
rotate for curved cuts.
All held in a vice with aluminium soft jaws (Bits of aluminium bent around
the hard jaws of the vice).
Ive only built small bases about 5cm x 10cm x 3mm or there abouts.
The saws, files and vice can be brought quite cheaply.
A bench drill would be nice for accurately drilling holes.
But if you center punch the hole and use a light battery powered drill you
can get quite accurate holes.
But if you make a paper template you can get almost anything cut by your
local engineering shop.

Subject: [noparse][[/noparse]basicstamps] My first robot
WOOOO!!!!
Just wanted to thank everyone here for the help you dished out. I finally
made my first robot. He is just a little light seeker but I feel like ive
given birth [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Now my only problem is giving him a suitable body. Currently the poor
little fellow is stuck to a breadboard and the BOE. What do you guys use
when making your chasis? I wish I still had my Erector set from way back
when. I tried to find a place to buy some more but they have gone to the
wimpy plastic kits. Anyone have some suggestions on body making?
