robothut Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 OK so I bought a 3d printer a few weeks ago that was for sale "FOR PARTS ONLY" off Ebay " a few hundered bucks so I had to take the chance" and fixed it up in a few hours. That got me printing dirt cheep. The robot clock I did a thread on a week ago was the first thing I printed and it turned out great. So then I decided it was time to learn for 3d cad design. I down loaded a free program called Design Spark Mechanics. I am not good at it but I have managed to design and print out 25 parts from 18 different files I generated. So many of us thought of the Jaggernaught as a drunk robot when it was walking that I thought, well if its a drunk robot they want then look no further than BENDER from Future-Rama. So I did a mash up of Bender and Alphabot that I call Alpha-Rama. Bender claims to be powered by Beer , or so he claims in the shows and his favorite thing to say is "KIss my shiny metal ass" so I had to add a 7th servo for the beer pouring mechanical arm that comes out of the chest opening to his mouth and a sound bite of his line.here is a you tube that explains alot more.https://youtu.be/gOKPxDrr9yQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well, that's just a peach, John. I can see an utterly addictive group of robots lurching into view: Alpha-Frankenbot, Alpha-Trump. It's a complete franchise! Please put me on your list if this reaches the production line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wonderful John! Is this the next generation you're doing, drunken Bender-bots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 The feet servos are gear connected now, the Jaggernaught was a lever and ball bearing set up, these gears look great, sort of like a cartoon joke.The programming slot is on top the head, the beer bottle neck antenna lifts out. Oh I added two rubber strips to the bottom of the feet so that they do not slip so much and it should make the robot more stable on non clean or level surfaces. Here is a picture of the gear feet drive and the 25, 3d printed parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Robot Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 A beer drinking robot modelled after Bender....it doesn't get any better John! I hope you put him into production. Those gnarly leg gears are a great look! He would look right at home standing beside Jaggernaut, even though he's quite the contrast in look😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
