https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf_CHN6EXmc This is my official entry for the Chip-E Remix Challenge. I created a device that leverages almost all of the original components and incorporates them with added features. The device attaches to your arm, featuring 3 motors, a display, and the Geekduino / Arduino Uno. Designed to function in situations where traditional Helping Hands are impractical, this device comes into play when faced with inadequate workspace or working at heights. I've had my fair share of such challenges over the past year. Though it may not be a direct remix of the Chip-E body, consulting with RobotGeek confirmed that "If you feel inspired to repurpose the parts in the Chip-E Kit toward another style of robot or machine, feel free to enter the competition. We'd love to see it! While we encourage modifications to the Chip-E as a walking/dancing/goofin robot, we recognize the versatility of RobotGeek's parts and their potential for configuring entirely different machines." My design was built with this mindset in mind. Please note that all parts may require scaling up by a factor of 10. In the following pictures, purple components represent 3D printed elements.
