Robotic Theater

Just building things for my kids.

[Maker Faire Rochester @MakerFaireRoc]

Who else is planning on tuning in to Imagine RIT's live stream tomorrow? We're excited to see all the new projects that students have worked on over the past year!

@MarioMagician I love how just when you think it's finished with the glasses .... BAM! Awesome stuff!

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

Scissors, glue gun, feathers, fabric, googly eyes and of course...an @Espruino controlling it all. Robot chicken looks a little crazy right now but should come together nicely. #silly #robot #maker #wip

@MarioMagician @arduino Awesome! I really like the little polishes like the hand waves and looks to the audience during the trick.

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

The fabric squares came in, so its time to dress Robot Chicken up and give it some style. #silly #Robot #maker

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

Well look at that ... the Rock-Paper-Scissors robot can also dance! It's still a WIP but it's coming along. #silly #robot #maker https://t.co/Ba3KhVhjkq

@MarioMagician Fantastic! Such a great little bot!

@astrostarbright I'm printing on a Finder right now. Its a great printer. I recommend using blue painters tape & a glue stick on the print bed. I do that for most every print & have never had an issue with parts sticking no matter the size. Plus it saves from having to purchase additional mats.

I ❤️ JS and I ❤️ playing with hardware, so it warms my ❤️ to see the features like these coming to browsers: https://t.co/q9GJgY90rP

Robo-chicken's no turkey! That's why he picked up @MarioMagician new book from @make. He better read it fast before the kids get to it. Check it out if you're interested in making, magic or even live performance in general. https://t.co/CoXZ7YoVdg #silly #robot #maker #Magic

@MarioMagician ❤️😊🙏Thanks man! My dream is to turn it into a STEAM kit, that folks can pickup & just supply two tin cans & some crazy socks or fabric of their choice to create their own animatronic rock-paper-scissor playing monster (in my case, chicken). 🤞

Just a quick update on the progress of the RPS robot chicken V2. Ignore the black PLA. Thats all I had on hand for prototyping parts. Final versions will be more colorful. Next print is the "hand" which sits on the head as well as the new wing/shoulder servos. #robot #maker

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

Amazing!

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

@MarioMagician OH COME ON! That's impossible. I was not planning on spending the rest of the evening trying to understand what I'm seeing, but I guess I am now. That's awesome! 🤯

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

@MarioMagician So I showed it to my son and when the video started, he said "thats cool, but why does it have a card" ... then it changed and his eyes went wide. :)

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

@MarioMagician Whaaaat! Look at that! Dude that's great!

Thanks to creative folks like @MarioMagician & @Odd_Jayy and communities like @make for inspiring me to revisit my old robot chicken and create a new and improved version for 2021. This time with additional movent capabilities. #silly #robot #maker

[Robotic Theater @RoboticTheater]

Inspired by shows like @BattleBots & @bugglebots & folks like the guys at @Spinnerproof and Ben @_Team_Panic my kids and I created Foambot Wars. Meet the first two bots! Robot combat videos coming soon. More info at: https://t.co/QYiHXuqERD #maker #robot #combatrobotics
