The Wire Beings Beta Arduino Robot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGNLyMG9hEk Check out this expandable robot chassis, designed to make robotics accessible to everyone. Get started with the basic bluetooth build instructions here: http://wirebeings.com/ Assembling it is quick and easy, but be aware that it takes around 35 hours to print in its entirety. The .stl files are separated for 3d printing, while the entire design is available under robotLatest.123dx for 123d Design. For those following the basic bluetooth build instructions, you won't need the neckOneServo.stl or neckBothServos.stl pieces unless you want to add motion to the head. The neckOneServo.stl piece allows for up-and-down movement, while the neckBothServos.stl piece enables both up-and-down and left-to-right motion. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions - I'd be more than happy to help you out. There are likely some things that have slipped through the cracks. Print Settings: Rafts: None Supports: No Infill: 10% Notes: The parts print really well, but keep in mind that you'll need supports when printing the middle pieces. To prevent warping and improve adhesion, use a raft on both face pieces. In my case, I didn't use a raft for one of the prints and encountered some issues with adhesion. Design Process: I used 123d design to create this project because I figured it would be easier for younger people to customize designs and edit features like faces or other components.
