Manny's Robot Blog

I've decided to create this blog to document my progress on CLYDE, my biped mech warfare robot. His purpose is to battle other biped and quadroped robots at Robogames 2010. His armament consists of a machine gun, firing 6mm plastic airsoft bb's and a gripping claw. Clyde is not autonomous. Piloting is by laptop computer, running custom software to a Lynxmotion Bot Board 2, still to be coded at this point. For vision, a Trendnet IP110W wifi video camera transmits what the bot sees to the same laptop. Clyde features 4 degrees of freedom per leg. The pan and tilt head links the main gun to the video camera, while the right arm features 4 degrees of freedom, including the gripper. Here is my progress, thus far.
