Use an electrical current to evaporate the water in it to "add" ballast. Something to test in a pool to see battery drain, I'm not sure how long batteries would hold up to it. Sounds like a decent theory to me. Prepare the xbee breakout board (solder on the 2 rows of male headers and 2 rows of 2mm xbee female headers) We recommend wood instead of plastic to reduce the weight. We used balsa wood that was thin but strong enough to hold weight for the arduino and breadboard. Cut two a piece of rubber about 1.75" diameter, so that it fits inside of the vacuum reducers. Cut two pieces of cord about 2 feet long, to act as tethers and to help position the body inside of the skin. We found it was easiest to plan the speed controls out in a table before writing the if else statements. This was our table:
Make sure that after "PORT:" it says something like "usbserial-A700xxx". If not, select "RESCAN SERIAL PORTS". We recommend gluing the hook part to wood, because it is much easier to sew the loop part of velcro into fabric. Again, in this step, we found it was easiest to draw out what we wanted timing wise, so we could easily see when to turn on and off each component. In this step we will be taking the three photocell sensors and using them to drive the motor speeds. In our code we will be refering the motors to Motor A or Motor B, based on where they are plugged into the motor shield, and the sensors will be Sensor 3, Sensor 4, and Sensor 5, based on where they are attached to the analog readings. Sensor 3 and Sensor 4 will be the directional sensors and Sensor 5 will be the ambient light sensor.
The vibration motor is added to simulate the a rattling tail on a snake. We were given our vibration motor from class, so we do not have a model number, but just like the other steps of this project, use the size motor that best fits the snake that you are building. We wanted the smallest motor possible, so that it would be able to fit on the small tail piece we were building. Sneel is inspired by Protei, (protei.org), an international project for the design of a fleet of open source, robotic, unmanned sailboats. Sneel is a development of Protei_007. This step is not adding anything new to the arduino, but marking the end of the electrical portion of the project and beginning the materials portion. From here on out, all the pieces we mentioned separately in previous steps need to be brought together and starting to create a cohesive project. We give a picture of everything we have added to the breadboard and the arduino setup. We also have the finished code that we will be using to control the snake from here on out.
A robot snake has been developed by scientists in the race to advance the abilities of search and rescue machines. Scan the paper, work with illustrator to make sketch look more clear and precise. Allow laser cutter to recognize illustrated sketch.Previous studies had mainly looked at snake movements on flat surfaces, but rarely in 3D terrain, except for on trees. Li said these did not necessarily account for real-life large obstacles such as pieces of rubble and debris that search and rescue robots would have to scale. You can also apply loctite to some of the screws so that they dont come out. Make sure not to do this before you are certain you are finished, because it is very hard to undo the screw once you've applied loctite. Also, the green loctite is a little less permanent. At each carbon fiber segment, attach the batteries with the 6V/GND wires pointing towards upwards (towards the top of the servos) and towards the front of the snake. Researchers studied how the variable kingsnake – commonly found in deserts and pine-oak forests – climbed steps in Li’s terradynamics lab. “These snakes have to regularly travel across boulders and fallen trees – they’re the masters of movement and there’s much we can learn from them,” he said. First, measure the size of arduino uno and breadboard. After acquiring the size of arduino uno and breadboard, sketch the snake’s base with little hole on them so they can be attached with each other later on. The base of head should be theoretically bigger than the other base pieces to have balanced weight since the wheels will be attached to the head. Total 7 bases were sketched for our project.
