The Project

It's not the final version, but here is my result from the plans. Edit 4/4/10 I never "completed" this version. This machine is now long gone, but I can't say it was satisfactory. My "genius" idea displayed in my plans in the previous post was to use the power of two motors to go forward and steer. The steering was achieved by moving only one motor forward. However, this steering scheme was not very maneuverable. Imagine, if the machine got fit into a corner with no room on the sides, getting out would be difficult, if not impossible.

One of my Latest Ideas


One of my latest ideas consisted of a re-design upgrade of this machine. The old one achieved five functions from three motors. My new ideas want to get six functions out of the motors. This will mean the new MPMA can drive, steer, raise and lower its arm, open and close its claw, and turn its wrist left and right. The picture demonstrates my plans.
