Set aside this whole front assembly for now, and we’ll start working on the back half.Īssemble servo and set it in place, threading the wire through the cutout in the back left part. Use m3x16 bolts to attach the dome to the face bottom and face top, over the eye. This part acts as a light mask and projects the eye image onto the inside of the dome. Use m3x16 bolts to attach eye to face bottom and face top. Use m3x16 bolts to bolt the face bottom to face top. The bolt will create threads in the plastic. Hot glue the BilnkM to the back of the facetop piece, oriented so that the power plug is facing towards the bottom.īolt in IR sensor to face bottom using m3x16 bolts, without using nuts. Hot glue the power switch in place so that it is accessible from the outside of the robot.Ĭonnect the electronics circuit as shown in Appendix A, but don’t connect the wires to the IR sensors or servo until step 13 as they may get in the way during the construction of the plastic parts.

This castor can probably be replaced with a static piece made from a MakerBot. You might need to edit it some to get the settings right for the servo later.Īssemble castor and bolt it to the base, you’ll only need two of the three bolts for the castor. Use CA glue or setscrew if required to hold wheels to shaft.īolt gearbox and arduino to base using m3x16 bolts and square nuts.

Good luck!Īdam Fontenault and Todd Blatt - Makerbot Studio - Spring 2012 Experiment with these settings to get the best results for your parts. The majority of the printed parts in this build were all skeined at 2 extra shells and 8% infill. This project is geared towards advanced hobbyists but everybody and everyone is encouraged to give it a try. The following is a list of parts and assembly instructions to help you build your very own Bubble Bot.

When startled the Bubble Bot’s pilot releases a stream of distracting bubbles to cover his escape. Bubble Bot is covered in sophisticated sensors tuned to detect mechanical organisms in our unique, waterless atmosphere. The pilot’s eyes can usually be seen glowing inside the bot’s domed cockpit. Bubble Bots are not robots, but sophisticated Dry Land Exploration Craft (DLEC) built and piloted by an unidentified race of aquatic organisms. Bubble Bot Bubble Bot’s name is actually a misnomer.
