Made in 4 weeks, this robot utilizes every last drop of power available in a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit. Using its custom magnetic system, it acts as an engineering themed kinetic art piece that draws meditative patterns "wirelessly", hiding underneath a piece of decorative furniture.
Features
In order to achieve optimal performance, the robot required an array of impressive features and capabilities, including:
Entirely custom build and table, manufactured using power tools and CNC after 3D CAD modeling.
Custom LEGO EV3 robotics arm with magnetic attachment, dual motors and 360 degree rotational freedom across a 36 cm radius.
Extremely light C and C++ code.
Fully autonomous contemplative drawings for hours.
Cost of manufacturing is 25x less than similar products on the market.
