Robots from Kits

 

The robot pictured to the left is a silly walking robotic pig I built from this kit as an assigment for the McCormick Design Competition.

 

In addition to building the kit, I wrote a report in which I mapped and analyzed the linkage systems that make this robot move, measured its speed and discussed possible ways to gain additional control over the pig's motion.

Additionally, in my free time, I am working on building a desktop robot cleaner from this Adafruit kit.
