Today at @CCCSuffolk we built a pedometer and a Rock, Paper, Scissors game to learn how to use the @microbit_edu for our LoRaWAN projects. ( Thanks @coolcomponents ) Thanks @NorfolkCC and @suffolkcc Innovation Network for funding the awesome project.

Check out my tank! It's got 3D printed flexible modular tracks. It's fast right now, but next time I'll be slowing it down and using it for machine learning. Full video: youtu.be/Cw-T7vKJ7w4

Tuesday's YouTube video this week is hopefully something innovative, and a basis for a future video too. But can you guess what it is? #robotics #vehicle #platform #mobile #3dprinted #3Dprinting #machine #mechnism #innovation #design #ai #terrain #cad #testing

Chris the Calibration robot coming along nicely... ⁦Doing manual phone distance/rssi calibration takes a long time and is error prone, so I'm building this. Code to be MIT licensed... When working! Kit from ⁦@sparkfun⁩ via ⁦@coolcomponents⁩

I'm really happy with how this one is going, but it's still pretty rudimentary - there's no sense of balance or force control at all. I did a couple of hardware upgrades and some minor gait improvements to get there which made a big difference. Full video: youtu.be/esQAom1P5uI

This week's YouTube video is part 1 of me trying to build a ROS enabled robot that does mapping and navigation. I'm using the 'Laser Scanning NERF Robot' chassis for this since it already has wheel encoders and a LIDAR. Video goes live 7am UK time Tuesday! #robotics #ros

Well it's the most rudimentary gait, but it goes! These are just fixed foot positions on fixed timers with the stride distance tied to a three axis joystick. Full video on YouTube with more details: youtu.be/ten2T1Pq_z8 #robotics #robot #robotdog #3dprinted #walkingrobot
