After having a pay with the DoodleBot this morning, I decided to design a JunkBot version. Main materials are Straws, Card, and Tape. Yup, thats pretty much it!
Here you can see my design, and then...
I made this wee beasty!
This is my 'PicassoBot' (perhaps the name needs rethinking..). But anyways, It is very similar to the DoodleBot, except with a much larger body for stability and longer legs for different patterns.
The ISSUES! Well, it does move, but not very quickly, at all, almost no movement. Therefore, I need a bigger weight to make it even more unbalanced. Also, the legs are a lil' unstable, therefore I would like to add supports between the legs to hold them in position which was a suggestion of Scott's. Heres a little video of the Test Run:
So!
I am working from home tomorrow, and my plans are :
- To note the modifications needed for the PicassoBot
- To design the Under 10's Project, a Fan operated car
- To begin the paperwork needed for the PicassoBot idea to be used for real people! e.g - Assembly Instructions, templates.
Right, Its home time now for me!

Really good start. PicassoBot is a good name as well.
