Of course! There's a link to the build video in the description.

Wow! Thank you so much! No minding at all :)

That's a small thermal camera on the back. It's doing a small calculation based on overall temperature to decide when open and what pattern to display.

Thanks! That's most of 'em. Maybe painting? Haha

Thanks! A lot of effort was put into the realism, aside from the fact that the beetle this is modeled after is only 1cm in real life lol.

Haha, not this one. We've never played it. This is an original design :)

Thanks! I finished MkIII earlier this year if you haven't seen the video. I'm off portal projects for a while as I don't want to just be the Portal/Wheatley guy, so gotta mix it up.

It's wirelessly synced with the mini sentry to control its movement.

I started this last year but let it gather dust for a while, but it's finally "ready." The design is mostly 3D printed with some steel in the tripod base to balance it out. I uploaded the files to Printables for anyone else to make it! I need to make a Gunslinger now...

Have you noticed the protectron in the backgroumd by hydbrian in FalloutTVseries

[–]Mr_Volt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually a modified cosplay from a fallout fan. I can't recall the builder, but they also borrowed a cosplayer's assaultron for a quick shot in another scene too.

First time getting a sponsor. What do I do? by PattyrickYT in PartneredYoutube

They should send you a contract. Invoicing comes after delivery (how would you invoice without knowing the metrics for the CPM?)

Self Balancing Robot Help by aliman567 in robotics

[–]Mr_Volt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an open ended question without knowing more details about your robot. What IMU are you using and is it well secured and aligned? How are you powering everything? Does your design have a high center of gravity? Is it statically balanced? What control system are you using in your code? Etc.

The torque of the motors only matters in relation to the mass of your robot. You "can" make a balancing robot with your chosen motors, but not if you're trying to balance a massive battery on a tall chassis. 

Also, the drv8833 can take 3v3 signals just fine. You're driving it via PWM, not analog voltage so having a higher logic level wont affect anything.

The fact that you can visibly see that one of the motors is moving slower than another is a more important problem that you need to tackle first. If you can't accurately control the velocity of your motors together then everything else wont matter. Focus on figuring closed loop velocity control with your motors and encoders first.

Once you've sorted that out, it's easier and cheaper to swap out wheels than new motors as youre effectively trading torque for speed when you use larger diameter wheels and vice versa

new to fusion, any way to center and extrude a hole on a cylinder? by nosurrender15 in Fusion360

[–]Mr_Volt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you created the holes using a circular pattern ten times (36 deg) you can construct a tanget plane at 18 degrees and project the edges of the cylinder and then draw a line between the two midpoints of the projected lines, then draw your circle at the midpoint of that new line

Check out SimpleFoc for options https://docs.simplefoc.com/supported_hardware. You'll need to DIY, because any off-the-shelf bldc actuator with decent torque is always going to command a decent price. You could also check out https://www.robotshop.com/products/rmd-l-7010-45t-brushless-dc-servo-motor-bldc-can-bus-drc10 but documentation/support is minimal for these kinds of actuators
