El DorkBot

Asistí a una de las exhibiciones de el difícil de etiquetar dorkbot. Ellos se describen como “Gente que hace cosas raras con electricidad“.

No tengo muy claro que tipo de asociación es esta ni a qué se dedican pero parece ser un grupo de entusiastas de la robótica artesanal y a mí los mecanismos me encantas y lo artesano también, si encima hay entusiasmo por medio ya me enamoro por completo.

A pesar de mis perspectivas la exhibición no me defrauda en absoluto y me encantan las 3 ponencias.

Primero apareció un chico con una máquina de escribir electrónica completamente hackeada que conectada a un PC y a un rotulador conseguía hipnotizarla para convertirla en un ploter casero.

Luego un par de universitarios nos mostraron su R4P (Robot de 4 Patas) y se me pusieron los pelos de punta cuando su criatura se movía con propia autonomía.

Finalmente se distribuyeron por la mesa un gran grupo de mini-robots hechos a partir de móviles antiguos. El padre ya había conseguido que sus criaturas usaran la batería y las pantallas ahora quería hackear el teclado para que los mini-robots se enviaran SMSs entre ellos e incluso que se comunicaran a base de politonos.

Al parecer esto lo repiten todos los meses, creo que ya estoy enganchado, una cita muy recomendable.

    Jeje, los chavales del R4P estudian en la universidad en la que doy clases, hace poco nos avisaron en el LUG de la universidad de que han seleccionado su R4P para la fase final del Concurso Universitario de Soft Libre, la verdad es que les está quedando fenomenal :)

    La robótica es de esos campos que antes eran cotos exclusivos de centros de investigación, universidades y empresas, pero con la bajada de costes de algunos componentes se pueden hacer cosas muy muy chulas con poco presupuesto y mucho ingenio.

    Sí, todos hablaban de un circuito que se llamaba Arduino que debe ser como la piedra filosofal de la robótica artesanal :)

    Good tutorial on Eagle, but if you want to relaly help people make Arduino shields, you should discuss the actual spacing/layout of the headers that is required to fit on an Arduino. For example, the nonstandard .16 spacing between the 8-pin headers. In your tutorial, your board was already magically laid out before you even dragged the ratsnest of parts onto the board. That certainly doesn’t happen magically in real life.

    Thanks. Finally, finally, after three failed attempts, I’ve found a paint shade I can live with. Four dips in the color wheel becomes the charm. It’s sunny today. And for this, I’m thankful. As I’ve thought more about Binx and his story, I’ve decided it may be just the sort of story meant for slow reading. There’s more there than meets the eye, I think, so I’m looking forward to taking that second tip myself. Enjoy.
