Crawlybots Drop-in Session
Workshop by Mechanismo
Saturday from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM in Workshop 0 (Drop-in)
We have a troupe of cute, expressive little robots that we take out to various events, where we encourage people of all ages to take control control of the robots, ...or alternatively, we sneak up on people unsuspectedly and do robotty things. Crawlybots were born from talks with Bristol based, robot friends during Covid times, regarding active suspension systems <yawn>. Many many experimentations later, lead to a Crawly prototype, which 5 mins after turning on, we realised it was not only adept and surmounting any number of challenging terrains... it was also a fantastic dancer! Funding helped us build a troupe of 4 Crawlybots that we have taken to many public engagement events, and allowed hundreds of kids to take control of the Crawlybots via remote control and FPV drone goggles. The bots bring joy wherever they go, across all ages, even among hard hearted roboticists. We pride ourselves on having all our robot 'guts' on show, so we can talk about all the great things like Teensys, coding, lipo batteries, BMS's's, esp32s, 3D printing, education, learning through play, sustainability, CNC, laser cutting and all sorts of interesting stuff. Fun fact! Crawlybot beta # 2 attended EMF 2022 and won the Hacky Races inaugural small robot class! https://crawlybots.uk/ https://mechanismo.com/robots/ https://www.instagram.com/mechanismobot/ https://twitter.com/mechanismobot
