A short video about my new robot showing some of the internals.
Also a little about some of the considerations for the design of the gripper.
The competition is April 3rd and 4th 2024. Look at the website robocup.dtu.dk/ for more details.

Your Fanboy here. Absolutely stunning. Those colour combos and thoughtfulness of design is extravagant. Waiting to see it roll on the dtu competition floor.

I'm not fully satisfied with the colors, but had a bunch of the green filament, so ended up using that😀. Still a lot of work to make it actually run.

Have you tried ros2 on your robots?

@wildwillyrobots 5 ай бұрын

No, it is just running my own software. I have looked at bit at ros, but it takes some time to understand how it works, and I'm not sure I have the time to invest in that.

amazing ingenuity and evolution from last years already amazing robot! Thank you for sharing

Thank you. It is mostly an evolution of the hardware, but so far it has not run that much, so I'm not sure it is better.

You have been my inspiration for quite some time as I'm dead set on using the independent wheel steering like what you have. You continue to be my unofficial teacher. Thanks so much for sharing your designs and plans. Kudos to you!

I forgot to mention that I also love your implementation of the magnets for the covers. You rock!

@wildwillyrobots 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, the magnets are quite nice. I will share the complete design at some point, but I need to clean it up a bit first.

The engineering on that looks amazing! The old one looked pretty cool when moving around, cant wait to see this one (hopefully) nail every obstacle.

Don't get your hopes too high. Currently I'm struggling just getting the cameras to work reliably.

@mikeydk 5 ай бұрын

I hope you will get it sorted out! On your old robot the camera seemed to work as intended, but maybe it only had the rgb camera?

@wildwillyrobots 5 ай бұрын

Problem was a bad connection in the cable on the RGB camera. I fixed it by soldering the usb cable directly to the camera board. I had the TOF sensor on the blue robot, but never used it because of a driver issue. The sensor was quite new at that time. This year I got the sensor working on a Pi4, but in the end decided to use Pi5 on the robot. And then I had the same problem with missing driver support for Pi5. Arducam released support for Pi5 a few days go, but I didn't have the time to implement it.

Great news! Did you manage to get a run in too? I only do dumb industrial robots which just performs the same actions over and over. At some point I would like to add some kind of vision to them too, but so far I haven't found anything (at a not too crazy price) which can handle what I need.

Yeah, I did run today in the competition, but the result was not great. I made stupid mistake of merging to programs for different parts of the track into one, but never actually tested that it was working. But I did solve the qr code box challenge, so the gripper in the video worked decently. I work with industrial robots and vision in my day time job, so I know that part very well😀

Great video and robot! Really nice talking to you at the competition!

Nice to meet you there. I hope we will see more teams from Odense next year.

I wish you good luck un the competition, and.more recognition for your swivel drive.

@wildwillyrobots 3 ай бұрын

It didn't go exactly as planned in the competition, because I made a stupid mistake in the programming. But I did get to use the arm of the robot for solving obstacle with the qr code boxes. It can see it in action here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d52XlpWOp8Z6g5o
