Constructing A Building-Sized Draw Bot
The machine we built is large, low-res and veeerrrrryyyy slow. It is also big, bad-ass, cheap and out of control, something that can be built in a couple of afternoons
Making a robot can be an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s the perfect combination of creativity, engineering and problem solving. However, if you’re just getting started in robotics, it can also be overwhelming. To make things easier for those who are just starting out, we’ve put together some tips and tricks to help makers bring robots to life! From the basics of assembling your robot to software implementation, these pointers will give you everything you need to get started on your robotic adventure!

A great example of fun and simple robotics made with CRICKIT from Adafruit.
It actually walks, and looks pretty darned good too!
Maker Faire Bay Area is here! Get a sneak peek at all the must-see exhibits and creators. We’ll be updating this post regularly throughout the weekend, so check back regularly.
Key takeaway for this week: hardware startups don’t just need watertight tech; they also need a product that people will actually buy.
There have been a rash of short videos popping onto the Adafruit youtube channel recently that depict Limor Fried showing off a new board driving some fun cardboard based projects. This new board, which we can hear Limor explain is the CRICKIT, appears to be in prototype stages. It got me really curious. Here it […]
