PrintBot RHINO is an educational robot featuring a dozer blade for pushing objects and designed to participate in sumobot fights. It can be controlled via Bluetooth through an Android app or operate autonomously. The robot's components can be easily attached, including servos, LEDs, push buttons, and other electronic parts. To see it in action, check out this video: http://youtu.be/r0RgC5rzKug. To build your own RHINO, you will need to print various parts like MainBody, BigWheels, SmallWheels, DozerBlade, BatteryHolder, and BezelWheels. For hardware, you'll require Lego Technic Treads or printed flexible filament treads, assorted screws, nuts, Velcro tape, and eight AAA batteries. You'll also need tools like an Allen hex key 2.5 Standard and a small screwdriver. Electronic parts include a Freaduino UNO (Arduino UNO derivative), IR sensors for line following, two continuous rotation servos, an LED, and an 8 AAA battery holder. The robot was designed by Miguel Angel de Frutos of MadeByFrutos.es, and the instructions are available in a Spanish PDF file attached to the project. Print settings for the Witbox 2 and Hephestos 2 printers suggest using no rafts or supports, a 0.2mm resolution, and 15% infill. For the Hephestos 2 with Flexible Filament Treads, use 245 C and 25 mm/s for the treads at 20% infill.
