SMARS modular robot

thingiverse

Here is a rewritten version of the text: Check out this amazing robot project called SMARS - "Screwless/Screwed Modular Assemblable Robotic System". It's an educational robot that's designed to be super easy to build and customize. The main features of SMARS are its simplicity, modularity, and affordability. You can mount different sensors and tools to create your own unique parts. I'm constantly updating the model on my Cults 3D page (https://goo.gl/xK9s1V) with new modules and DLC - but I'd love for you to share your own mods too! Join our Facebook group! https://goo.gl/4EgJhX Follow me on Facebook: https://goo.gl/Gcmxp5 To build the basic model, you'll need just a few extra components: * 2x mini 150RPM motors (https://amzn.to/2QowLKt or http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/by2RFfHq) * 1x 9V battery (https://amzn.to/2Ptx0hR or http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/hEy2L3E) * 1x 9V battery connector (https://amzn.to/2Pvi6b4 or http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/jDzqDWY) * 1x Arduino UNO (https://amzn.to/2QpCDmq or http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/Qc3oVvA) * 1x Adafruit Motor Shield V1 or V2 (https://amzn.to/2PuBl4d or http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/ghtEQa8) or (https://amzn.to/2EeejNi or http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bExt3Mv6) For the screwed version, you'll need two 25mm M4 screws and two self-locking nuts. Tips: * The joints of the tracks are simply pieces of 1.75mm filament cut to the right length. * To assemble the screwless version, you'll need a multi-slip joint gripping plier to insert the "slave wheels". * One of the upcoming DLCs will be the Quadpod mod - if you're interested in moving from tracks to legs, use the screwed version "chassis-S Mk2" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829401). Building instructions are included in the "doc lite" folder. These models also fit: * 3x AAA batteries (check my profile for the DLC) * 1x PS3 controller 1800mAh 3.7V Li-Ion Battery (be careful and use it only if you know what you're doing!)
