BMX bike from The Recyclery
George | September 2, 2012
Dear Recyclery staff – Thank you for donating the used BMX bike to Autistry Studios. I will be restoring the bike so that it looks nearly new.

The Final Robot’s Program
Ryan | August 26, 2012
How was the roverbot able to maneuver so well? That had to do with the program it possessed. The way Jack programed the roverbot was by making it go left when bright until it found dark, then turn left briefly. Then test if it sees dark again. Turn right when not dark repeating the process [...]
The Final Roverbot
Ryan | August 19, 2012
Through out my sessions constructing and programing the robot, Jack and I have been trying to make the robot follow a black line. Today, I finally got that to work by reconstructing the wheel frame. Last session, Jack and I got the right program to make the robot follow the black line, but the robot [...]
The Light Sensor Robot
Ryan | August 12, 2012
Today and in the past two sessions, I modified the robot quite a bit. First, I replaced the previous wheels with larger ones. After that, I geared the drive wheels so they would run slower then the motor. Finally, I replaced bumpers with a light censer and the support wheels with a pivot wheel. I [...]
Drilling a new base.
Marina | July 29, 2012
Today we drilled a new base for the arduino robot. We drilled holes into the places that would be where screws would go into with a drill press. I traced to hole where it needed to be drilled. I used three different drill bits. Next time we will be working on screwing the base on [...]
Ryan’s Lego RCX robot
Ryan | July 10, 2012
From my previous modifications to the “whiskered robot” Dan and I tested my setup compared to the “double bumper” set up from the RCX manual. The tests concluded the “double bumper” to be more reliable when it bumped into an object. Next, Dan and I tested the robot in a test area that had two [...]
Sensor Time
Marina | July 8, 2012
I connected an infrared sensor to the Arduino robot that I’ve been working with. When the infrared beam hits an object, it sends a signal to the receiver which tells the red light on the back to blink and we programmed the Arduino to respond to that signal. Next we will use this sensor to [...]
Robot on treadmill
Marina | July 1, 2012
I programmed the arduino robot to go forward. I used the commands: servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(1700); servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1300); this tells each of the wheels to turn in the correct direction at full speed. I put it on the treadmill in the workshop on the lowest setting possible, and let it go. The speed the wheels were going weren’t fast [...]
My first robotics project
George | June 24, 2012
I’m extremely excited about RC CARS and Airplanes. Boats too. I am building an airplane today. The airplane has a motor and wings and also a tall fin, rudder, and a propeller that makes the airplane fly. It also has a battery.
First programming of Boe-Bot
Marina | June 21, 2012
I took a previously built robot, and connected LEDs to it. I then programmed it to blink the LEDs on and off. We plan to do more programming and making the robot do more movements or other actions.
