HOW TO – Make a robot arm

Rapic6
Giandomenico De Sanctis made a really clever robot arm, source and schematics included – “I am always been interested in the construction of robotic equipment, but I have no mode to make anything… until now! Some months ago I saw the movie “I, robot”, and I decided: it’s the moment! I want to build a robotic arm! Here I present the results, hoping it would be useful to other people also interested. This robotic arm is a little demonstrator, it uses stock servomotors normally used in RC models, and it’s controlled from a pc, attached with a serial cable.” Link.

    I’m 13 and I’m also making one. You gave me some great ideas. Must of been fun to build and play. I just finish my moving base and it was a blast. I was 4 when i wanted to my one. Cost to much for stuff. Now it was a dream come true. GREAT WORK!

    Im 14 yrs old and Im in a science club and we are building a robot arm for our competition next week. The problem is that I cant seem to be able to find a “brain” that will not cause a fortune to buy. And Im not sure exacltly WHICH one to buy. Im kind of lost in this right now, but if you or anyone has a good idea…or would like to help me out, please message me at jasminelpz@yahoo.com
