Forklift Robot Built With Cardboard And BBC Micro:Bit DIY

Teach your teenage students some basic engineering and robotics skills while having fun. In this video, I will show you how to build a cardboard robot fork lift that can drive and carry light objects.
Plan and micro:bit code: cardboard.lofi...
LOFI Control Micro:Bit app: cardboard.lofi...
Building tips: cardboard.lofi...
Electronics tips: cardboard.lofi...
You will need some cardboard, scissors, servo motors and BBC Micro:Bit. Follow the step-by-step instructions and learn how to make the chassis, the wheels, and the fork. This is a great project for STEAM education in primary school, as it involves creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning.
Thanks for watching!
Parts list:
- one layer cardboard (easier to cut than two layers)
- two layer cardboard for wheels
- BBC Micro:Bit
- Elecfreaks RingBit v2 adapter
- 2 x micro servo 360 degrees (3,3V comptible)
- 1 x micro servo 180 degrees
- M3 nuts and bolts (12mm long)
- rubber bands
Tools:
- scissors
- ruler
- pen

thank you for this video the cardboard is very cute and preppy 🎀 🐺 :3

[@allforone1468]

nice job my friend. i'd like to share it with my students. thanks very much!

Genialna zabawa połączona z nauką!

Hello sir what type of system did you use

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

System of what?

[@Bob-go2gn]

Good day sir, can I use a sensor shield instead of an adapter?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey, well I think that one of the great thing in cardboard designs is that you can stretch the dimensions however you like to fit your shield.

[@abdelhakbourdim867]

Hi, where can I find the design file in dxf format to reproduce by a laser cut please?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey, plan is embedded in the begining of each video or you can find it on project website (link in the description). No vectors tough.

[@drs3ch]

Looks like a realy nice project. How do you control the robot? with a second Micro:bit?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

On the video I actually used another Micro:Bit over radio for remote control. But you could also use a bluetooth app. I am working on a web app for desktop and Android to do that. You can see it in another video.

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

You can find the webapp and instruction here: cardboard.lofirobot.com/microbit-control-app-info/

@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS Thank you a lot.! your content is amazing. I will use it as basic for two of my students. They will have to build the robots out of other materials in the final form, to practice other handcraft skills. But your Cardboard ideas are the perfect entrance to the project. Thank you

[@shivaperumaldanushvictoria9146]

is it possible by using an extension instead of an adapter

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

What do you mean by extension?

[@shivaperumaldanushvictoria9146]

@@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS it is called an extention port got like 4 ports and a place to insert microbit in

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Ok, it should word, anything that can drive a servo motor will do, maybe you will have to adjust dimensions to fit it in

[@tonene86]

xcellent project. Congratulations. Please share the programming code with us

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey, I am working on a bluetooth control app for desktop and Android to use with this robot. Will publish it in few weeks with sample code.
