Pocket Sized Robot Arm #meArm V0.4 The #meArm was designed with economy in mind. It is understood that laser cutters aren't the most common tools but there are more of them out there now than ever! First you'll need a set of parts. Grab the dxf and use a cnc mill or laser cutter. For the v0.3 we also had people 3D print the parts. Next you'll need all of the screws and nuts. Nut x 106mm x 98mm x 1210mm x 312mm x 720mm x 4 You could no doubt find imperial sized counterparts, as a nation you managed to get a man to the moon with foot pounds per square inch so I'll leave the conversions in your capable hands (in case of residents of Liberia or Myamar ignore the bit about the moon). You'll also need 4 hobby servos. Phenoptix is a commercial operation (when I remember) and we do have complete kits available as well as the component parts.

OneWheeled A site about all things that self-balance from around the world and in particular the machines I have built myself. Self-balancers existed long before Christmas 2015 "hoverboards" gave self-balancers a bad name. Why do this? i) There is still much to learn in this area. iii) You can genuinely innovate even as a hobbyist. iii) You can only do so much on a computer, you then have to actually build something. These days that last part often never happens. Lecture at EMF camp: I gave a talk on whole history of the machines I have made over last 10 years at the EMF camp 2018. LATE 2018 PROJECT: Developed a monster unicycle (above) with a 3000Watt hubmotor from an electric motorbike. Seen above with the new (27/6/18) front safety wheel enclosure.This works well and also looks better than a wheel sticking out at the front on a stalk. This build was documented in a series of videos under the name Unicycle Garage. Seriously windy day at Pembrey beach. Left: The Jackal by Nick Thatcher. The THING
19) UNI-МИГ 01 (Uni-Mig 01) Monowheel scooter. - OneWheeled Crash bar protects headlamp in the event of a complete forward fall. Red light comes on if motor power exceeds about 80%. This is a warning for rider to slow down as if you reach 100% power and machine tilts forwards, there is then no more power available to accelerate to correct the tilt, so you fall off over the front. Fold down footrests. Small wheels hit ground in event of a power failure while moving along, so you roll to a stop, rather than having the front dig in and flipping you over! Panels from Chinese scooter on ebay actually weigh almost nothing. Motor arranged in a hinged frame. motor can run in both directions. Adjustable bolt at top right of picture. always seem to work loose and slip with this motor, thus slackening the chain. Strange frame is to hold alloy panels in exact correct locations to line up with the plastic scooter panels when all bolted on. Weight is nice and low with motor behind wheel and battery flat above it. to the wheel / battery / motor combination.
