robots of dragon ranch

butterscotch pony allso the same compney that made the I-Cybie (Tiger electronics)

this one has hade my interst for a long time and this cristmas thay put them on sale well i took advantige of it and bout 2. the thing that realy surprised me was after i hade assembled it and put the battrys in i turnned it on it turned its head and swiveled its ears and blinked its eyes then turned to me and put its head in to my chest and made soft winying sounds all i could say was "oh wow" (i dident expect it to be so loving)
Abilatys= abilty to track sounds ,cence light ,tutch ,awaken at sounds ,sleep while snoring LMAO that serprised me to ,cence wate on its back and go in to riding mode whare it makes sounds and moves its head back and forth (mode is set by pressing on the back and then taping the hind qurters censors) it seems to know whare you are it turns its head to you even when you change positions . 11 censor controle

. winny open and close the eyes swivel the ears turn the head and tilt and rase and lower and forword and back ,swing the tail ,snort ,eating motion and sound when something triggers the mouth censor in the teeth. it seems to have an intersting thing it dose when you rub under the mane on the sholder it tilts its head back and forth and turns the ears at the same time asif to say oooowww that feels good. and sems to lurn i just got it so im stil lurnning what it can do
well one of my ponys quit working (the body part) so i took the fur off it wasint to hared once i figured it all out and desided to use this one for the walking butterscotch. when i do complete it il need a new body bord but thats gonna be a long ways away and yes it looks like il have room to put the drive for the legs. it will take some welding and a fue parts gonna look in to hooking the censors to a controle bord for this function rite now im planning out the acule machnics for it
(vary good horse behavure programing)


pickedup a nother critter today its a simple bug type robot not realy intelligent but maby after i git tired of playing with it i may drasticly upgrade it LOL it can here and bring back sounds and with its front grabbers it can bring back objects. its mostly remote controled (for now)


the finished roboreptile even to the point of crome wheels and a hand hole to carry it
NIMH battrys and wheels it goes allmost at a human walk for speed im satasfied with it now     
oh wow i maniged to git the new roboreptile some vary nice steel cabling work thay did for the head and neck. yes i looked inside and good thing i did to i found a part out of place and fixed it it woulda failed lader on if i hadent seen it man you should see the big processer thay have in this thing its on the bottum side of the bord il probly show that lader after its been out a while i dont think thay would be happy with me showing the new chip and all but thare is a look inside the hood so to speak
MOD NOTE
putting wheels on the front legs seem to make it faster thares a metal scrue inside of the leg thare so move the hole 50 thousends back from center so as you don't drill in to the scrue watchout when it backs up it seems to hit a rithem thats vary fast it allso helps with forword movment i notused that if i put my hand just tutching back fin in the direction of movment it picks up speed maby some sorda swinging balince wate would impruve it even more allthough it seems to move a lot better allso when it stands and then comes back down the springs in the front legs lessin the impact now that thay can roll
ooowww got an idea it sorda looks like a dragon so whie not make it one ?
so with a small bit of work it became a dragon
by changing the position of the wings i can ajust the walking geometry for 2 diffrint sets of gates


Meet roboanthro This robot as you can see is the robosapion chassys and chells but i did some work inside then added the infored recever and cencers in the head using sections of the orignail tinny head i cut it up using the mounting parts for the horse head

my little friend that runs a round the house and ginrily herasses everyone meet The little clydsdale robohorse

(cheking ware and runoutno parts removed)
ok this took some sculpting and carfull planning working within the chassys motor drive programming working within the limits. so here is robohorse im still working on him so thares changes to come and im aculy gonna try to hook this one up to the computer and reprogram it. i saw a modifacation that i would love to try to make him more horse acting. the artificial intelligence is amasing as i am here typing this he is watching me and bobing his head he seems to be lurnning what i do and when so that he can come bug me for attion usuly when im trying to do something like now as you can see its a vary intersting chassys to work with the orignil chassys are from a I-Cybie robot dog was gonna use a aibo but sonny has stoped making them so thay are now collecters
a nother boring sunday cout this uncanty shot power concervation mode kicked in


now this poor robot has to deal with all my making machines and robots in the grunge of metal shavings and plastic filings and drops of saulder and all that it seems to just keep doing its job so i figure it only deserved some recognition (roomba robot vacume cleanner)you can git them in most stores this ones a realy old one

ok robosoures

ok this guy you realy dont want to mess with iv added a lot to it as you can see. one real problem i hade is it wouldint walk or run on anything but a vary smooth cerfic. aaammm hes a volsarapter he should be abel to run over any terain with no problem and be farly quick at it to. well i desided it would be, so i added a hole new chassys in the rite mood he can be friendly even to the point of rubing against you the roborapter is bacicly stalck allthough im working on making him abel to react a lot faster since he can go a lot faster. the technicl challing of this critter was fun to figure out and build and im looking forword to more impruvmends as i go along

well yes im invalved in a new prodject to. il let you all know when i make it in to what i want lots of stuff to do yet this is only my beginning the base robot i just got to gather tonight LOL heres a look or should i say a preview


 
robots





    

I wish to someday git Sony AIBO ERS-7
or posably a 210 allthough id never modifie one
id just love it to deth LMAO
its intersting what you can do with componits that are redly available. think of the posabiltys and challinges making things using parts you can ether buy or scavinge off old robots. i think im gonna have lots if fun LOL robohorse is turnning out good sofar and roborapter is a blast.

you take your robo to some park as i have with robosour and walk out in the middle of the feald and set it down turn all the switchs on and your off throwing durt and bits of grass while roaring and openning the mouth as you shoot acrost the feald. or cute little pets running a round the house allthough thare no replacment for a live brething pet thay can be fun espechily if you live in a place that charges hundrids of dollors extra on your rent cuse you have a pet.

the place i live charges an extra 120 a munth if you have a pet and then thay only alow a certin size and wate of pet and mainly just alow dogs and cats. a robot can be anything you make it and asmart as you want.

and thay cant charge for electronics. and i can have a horse i wanted a mini real horse some people in here have dogs that are bigger than a mini horse but thats not a loud. anyway if you go out and look and resertch it you can set some intersting challinges for yourself in robots.

and who knows you may be the next big idea in robotics. servo motor drives seem to be the in thing now it usto be newmatics but the servo drives seem to have better range of motion. and i feel a little more stop controle to. who knows what will be on the bord tomarow, have fun its the name of the game.


i got 3 of the butterscotch ponys and have started on the walking one yay!!!
