  1. Join Afrobot 2012 at Making a robot?? “Yes you can! “ Brought to you by Christophe Scicluna

  2. So, did you say robot? Yes, they are robots but…

  3. …this is a robot too Its name is “ALDO”

  4. X-Ray of ALDO Wheel Platform Motor#1 Caster • ALDO can : • Move forward • Move backward • Turn left • Turn right Motor#2 Wheel

  5. But how to control ALDO? With a remote control… …with wires connected to the motors

  6. And how to build the remote? It might look like that… Power supplyconnector Microswitch Connector toRobot Push Button Mutiple wirescable But the design (and wiring) is up to you, to make the robot move

  7. And…that’s all?? Well, it’s a minimum!But the secret ingredients for success are: Imagination Motivation

  8. Where to start from? From Afrobot 2012’s rules • Feel the spirit of the competition • Understand the strategy to adopt • Design your robot accordingly

  9. What material do I need? For a basic robot… …this is a minimum

  10. ALDO: a typical list of material (1/2)

  11. ALDO: a typical list of material (2/2)

  12. More than ALDO? For a robot with more features A simple gearbox kit, to perform an additional action (like kicking a ball…) A more complex gearbox to get more precision, efficiency… Construction blocks Motor and gear box in kit formArticle number : 224.105  High power gearboxHigh speed gearbox

  13. More than ALDO?

  14. Workshop: tools and consumable

  15. Where to shop? Examples A good electronics shop A hardware shop A hobby shop A car shop Recycle material... Online
