Hello all,
I Wanted to show you my latest creation, the TickleBot Version 0.01.
Here is a picture of the main mechanism:
And a short clip of the simple but effective upper body module in action:

Its is still in its first stages, and i have som many ideas on mind, to to turn it into a full body tickle torture robot! but that is a long process with tons of problem solving!
My biggest problem is how to mount all the parts to a frame or a bed. So far i used wooden dowels that would get wedged between the bed frame and mattres. that was for the upper body part. And for the foot part, It is the same configuration as the picture attached above.
I used steel wires to mount feathers and other items to the servos.
I have multiple programs for the robot, they run different random programs for either the upper body module, or the foot module.
Unfortunately i havent figured out how to runn all the modules at the same time. I think there is a shortage in the power generated by the electronics as well as a problem with the code which would run the components in sequence instead of in sync. (So servo 1 and 2 on, then servo 3 and 4 on while 1 and 2 are off).
What do you think? and any suggestions on my problems here? would love to hear your thoughts on the project and any suggestions you might have!
Regards,
Joey
