Makeblock Robot Gripper (unboxing and testing)

[@visibleconfusion9894]

this is a good gripper, after water proofing them for underwater use there good, one thing is if you over rotate, drop or even knock it the plastic part will break, the part in the middle it will break these things are good but break very easily i used them to build ROVS or remote operated vehicles for underwater use and about 3 or 4 of them broke be careful read my name

We have a raspberrypi and we can't find a spot for the orange conector what should we do? Do we really need a spot deticated for conector

[@MechDickel]

You need an H-bridge.

[@cassandratom8986]

Do you know how they calculated the torque need to grip the object?

[@braveheart5280]

How do you prevent gears from excess stress or breakage when the gripper clamps on the object? thanks

[@engr.inigo.silva2000]

Hello brother. Can you suggest us a mechanic analisis for mechanism book?

[@raghibshams7801]

Could you please leta us know which board did you use to program your bot in this video? (With controller names)

[@MechDickel]

It's the mCore board. It's the board of the Makeblock mBot.

[@MrSnortatu]

what is the max size dose it open to? do u have anything bigger?

[@MechDickel]

Hi! All specs here: www.robotshop.com/en/makeblock-robot-gripper.html

[@baroudi4156]

Great videos dude. what is the scope of control via bluetooth ? Could it be higher via radio frequency ?

[@MechDickel]

Thanks! Bluetooth reaches just a few meters. Radio frequency can reach hundreds of meters (depends on your set).

[@baroudi4156]

Ok thanks. I would like to do the same thing but with a winch (hoist) before the gripper. So the gripper can go up and down. How many motor can I control with 1 mcore board (separately I mean) ? what kind of motor should I use to make the winch. I can't find a winch module for mbot. Thanks again.

[@MechDickel]

I have not tried, but I guess you can control more DC motors adding the Me Dual DC Motor Driver, or Me Encoder Motor Driver, or even Me High-Power Motor Driver. Surely you will need an external power supply. For one additional DOF before the gripper, I guess an easier alternative is a servo motor. Easier to install and manage. But always remember: mCore board has limited electric current capability.

[@kekekekw1788]

hello can you show us the code and is it possible using block?

[@shrikantlare]

Hi very good gripper...do you sale it in India?? How do I get if we need here??

[@MechDickel]

Hi! I'm not sure if they ship to India, but please take a look at store.makeblock.com/robot-gripper and/or www.robotshop.com/en/makeblock-robot-gripper.html

[@JoëlNoudjeu]

Bonsoir , s'il vous plaît, cette pince coûte combien ?

[@SagarSingh-rb4eg]

can u please tell me how did you make that black remote able to control your bot

[@MechDickel]

I have implemented it in my projects following this article: www.billporter.info/2010/06/05/playstation-2-controller-arduino-library-v1-0/

[@makerspacexuanvinhtech4374]

It is great idears. Thanks

[@roshananil614]

hey man Ur video is amazing pls send me the link to buy that gripper

[@MechDickel]

Thank you very much for your comment! Take a look @ www.makeblock.com/robot-gripper or www.robotshop.com/en/makeblock-robot-gripper.html

[@azizshaikh562]

can we use this in drone for lifting

[@MechDickel]

I think it won't be easy, but I guess it can work. It will depend on the strength of your drone ... and probably will require stability adjustments.

[@SaarStromer]

Eu gostaria de poder comprar essas garras de você. É possível me vender 3 peças e enviá-lo para a Alemanha? se sim, deixe-me saber através de um comentário como posso entrar em contato com você... Obrigado.... Markus

[@jingkailim5185]

can thee motor put under water? Because i'm deciding to use this robot gripper in my rov (remotely operated underwater vehicle)

[@MechDickel]

It's not a waterproof device.

[@edwardo230]

We used one for our ROV in an international competition. it will work, but it life of the gripper will get reduced a lot. And althoug we did all the tasks we needed to do, like opening valves moving pvc pipes etc we finally changed it for a gripper we designed as this gripper was too weak for other tasks. (If I remember correctly you will need to take out the capacitor it has between its terminal or it will shortcircuit)

[@jingkailim5185]

wow thx

[@visibleconfusion9894]

i am going to use them in a ROV competition as well (our competition is march 25th 2018) and it is easy to water proof, we just put some liquid tape around the motor and connection wire and it works fine underwater and how did you do in your competition?

[@xbyx7788]

@@visibleconfusion9894 we are making rov and we bought this gripper. How to isolated electronical parts? We cant found liquid tape.

[@aminaboujnen7378]

plz can you help me to control robot with fuzzy logic

[@MechDickel]

Sorry... I have no experience with this.

[@aminaboujnen7378]

@@MechDickel okk thank you

[@ikmal3633]

Is this a pneumatic gripper?

[@MechDickel]

Nope. It works with a small DC motor.

[@ikmal3633]

Mech-Dickel Studios what type gripper ?

[@MechDickel]

It's the Makeblock Robot Gripper. Please take a look: store.makeblock.com/robot-gripper

[@夏天-m6r]

Could I ask the model of the DC motor?

[@MechDickel]

Hi! The DC motor comes already assembled on the gripper. No specs provided by the manufacturer.

[@mubashartariq2032]

Can we use arduino to control it?

[@mmdnaderi7183]

what u cant do with arduino ?

[@MechDickel]

Yes... but you'll also need a H-bridge.

[@technicalgyan1861]

It is a great . But bro give me tutorials. Plz

[@wizardz887]

Motor dc or ac?

[@MechDickel]

DC.
