How to Make Instructables Robot

ins r.jpg

Hi readers, happy to see you here! In this instructables I will show you how to make instructables robot

It is a very proud project for me as iam building something for my favorite community.

This project makes use of Tinkercad codeblocks which I find very easy to use.

This project took quiet a while for me as I had to work on individual parts and get them working together.

Neverthless it was all worth it at the end as I was finally able to make this robot move.

Why you should make instructables robot?

Each individual part of this robot has different shape and size.

Trying to replicate this needs a good observing skill.

It enables a thinking ability which leads to improvments in the thinking function that ultimately effects positively in some areas of life

What does this Codeblock do?

This codeblock creates instructable robot from tip to toe and finally moves the entire robot away from screen.

Supplies

·        Tinkercad

·        Internet

·        Some time of yours

These are the only supplies that is needed to build this project.

Making Head and Ears

You can refer the code blocks that are shown in these steps

You can try to build this robot by following these code blocks.

To come up with this it took me lots of trial and errors as I had to first calculate the dimensions of the current instructables robot.

From the codeblocks used in head you can see that I made use of square that is hollow

For smoother sides I used edge dimension as 2

This square was later moved in the Z axis by distance of 100mm

Later I added paraboloid It was later rotated around x-axis by minus 90 degrees from the pivot like the square head block I moved this on the direction of Z Axis by a distance of 100 millimetre this complete one ear side of the robot.

 

For the other side I repeated same steps but the paraboloid was rotated around x axis by 9° and moved with 100 mm distance on Z axis

 

Now for the ear stick I used two cylinders both of radius 0.1 mm with 25 sides

first ear stick was rotate in x-axis by minus 88 degrees from pivot and was later moved on the direction of Z Axis by 100 mm and y Axis 17 mm

To make the second ear stick I rotated around x axis by 88 degrees and moveu up on the direction of Z Axis by 100 mm and Y Axis by minus 17 mm

This completes Head and ears part



Making the Face

The robot has eyes with long eyebrows and a mouth.

I used the following codes to make those.

i have added image with the code steps and robot face that was being created.

The shapes that i used to make this were 2 torus that was added first later followed by 2 spheres

Then for eyebrows i added a cylinder horizontally

Mouth was made using torus then i finished the mouth using a piece of cylinder.

At the end of these codes you will have a face of robot.


Robot Stomach and Chest

The body of robot is the main piece of highlight or i can say center of attraction!

Chest and Stomach part holds all other small parts together.

To code this i have used first a half sphere followed by adding box

For lower stomach where the legs will be attached i have used a box in the shape of rectangle

You can check for the same in the codeblock images on above steps

End result would be half completed robot


Hands and Legs

For hands and legs i will be using cylinders, The size vary for hands and legs

Hands have fingers so this robot should too!

For the fingers i will be adding small cylinders at the end of big cylinder

Repeat same step for other hands too following the dimensions as given in the codes

For the legs cylinder of a shorter length compared to arm is added

For the feet or wheeled robot feet i made use of Torus, Repeat same step for other leg too

Finishing

To finish this robot few buttons and a pouch in the stomach needs to be added

To make the buttons i used sphere, 3 same sized spheres were made and add to the stomach part

Pouch is made with the help of box that was stretched to make a rectangle

You can refer the dimensions used for this from the codes above

This completes the robot.

To make this robot move you can just use the code given in last image of this step

Robot Working

Watch this video that shows working of this robot.

If you are willing to make few edits and have fun you can tinker my design :)

HAPPY TINKERING!
