RP6 Robot

I made a decision today: I ordered the rp6 robot from conrad.


This is the brand new version of the rp5 (robby) robot. It has a ATMEGA32 microprocessor that can be programmed in C and is highly extensible. So I think this will be a perfect platform for further experiments!

Robby has arrived!

Yesterday evening my Robby RP6 has been delivered. I was positively surprised by the quality of the robot. It all looks and feels very solid and made to last. Thanks to the extensive manual it was quite easy to setup the basics. Within half an hour I had uploaded my first example program and could let the robot run through the living room, finding its own way by avoiding the furniture.

I've attached some first pictures, one or two videos will follow shortly.




One last photo of my two robots together: I-Qbot and RP6.

Robby moves!

This video shows the first steps of my brand new RP6. In the coming weeks I want to make the first small extensions like adding some LEDs and light sensors and use these to create some test programs.

Rubik's cube solver

A great Lego Mindstorms NXT robot that solves Rubik's cube! It will take some time before I can learn my RP6 or iQbot a trick like this...
