This sand drawing robotic draws within the sand - Geekologie

YouTuber Ivan Miranda constructed a 30 pound robot the use of 50 miniature servos that writes messages within the sand.

I made a sand drawing robotic with 50 miniature servos and a two half tanks, i use an Arduino Mega 2560 to study from an sd card a textual content file with the desired photo and ship the servo place facts to an extra two Arduino Mega that then send the adequate alerts to the servos. 5 DC to DC converters connected to a 6S LiPo battery provide satisfactory vigour to aid the stalling current of the entire 50 servos without delay. Two half tanks deliver satisfactory grip and torque to drag all the servos in the course of the sand. The entire thing weighs around 14 Kg in working order (with the batteries on) so I needed to build a tailor made trailer to cary the issue as there's somewhat a strolling distance to the verify box.

here is the ultimate invention for for those who're stranded on a barren region island, which is why i like to recommend each grownup at all times elevate one with them constantly. certain, it's enormous and weighs 30 pounds, however you will get the closing chuckle when your "support" message is perfectly spaced and legible and your fellow strandees are the usage of coconuts like a bunch of chumps.

preserve going for the entire video of the robotic in motion, along with Miranda's outdated version, which become slower however had extra contrast.
