Duckon Bristlebot frame take 1
Oct. 30th, 2011 07:26 pmFor Duckon 2012 I plan to have more than just blinkies in the blinkie room, including things that move, and encouragement for children to participate in new ways.
This is a frame for making bristlebots. The goal is to have the assembly be trivial even for small children, and also to provide some flat faces for decoration (sharpies, googly eyes, etc).
It took about 90 seconds to assemble this; all that's involved is popping the motor in and then winding the wires around the posts.
Will be printed in white for decorate-ability. I will try PLA as well. I need to find a way to run the wires vertically; horizontal wires just get pressed down during battery insertion.
