XOBot

Project of Olin College. Ideas is to create a simple, low cost XO Robot and interface the hardware components with Scratch or some XO friendly graphical programming environment.

Project Components

Hardware Selection

  • We're looking to use Vex Servo Motors for drive
    • (+) Low cost, about $20 a pop
    • (+) Easy to aquire
    • (+) Accept PWM and have velocity control, but unlike normal servos are continuous
  • Delrin parts for structure
    • (+) Delrin is light weight and parts can be assembled without tools
    • (+) Many companies will cut and send you Delrin parts at low cost (http://www.ponoko.com/)
  • TODO: Determine rest of parts and cost estimate

CAD of the XO

Hard(er) to CAD interfacing parts (the Bot kit itself) without a CAD of the XO. Check out XOCad Zwiebel top mostly closed render.png

CAD of the Bot Kit

  • TODO: Design and produce CAD
