Delta Robot v7 Delta Robot v8

I love getting feedback. It’s a road sign that tells me which way to go. Recently someone at the VHS pointed out that our lesson plans and assembly guides are all over the place. Too true! So to start 2014 off right we’ve launched a new, mobile-friendly wiki to house all our assembly guides, tutorials, and lesson plans for teachers. Please let us know if you spot a tutorial, blog post, or other that we haven’t moved yet. Collectively you have more eyes than I do. I mean… I have this jar full here but I don’t think they count. Yet.

Speaking of feedback and learning, I’ve been flooded with emails asking about the Delta Robots. Above is a picture of versions 7 and 8. These are getting a lot closer to what I want. v7 is that size because it fits in my shipping boxes. v8 makes things easier to assemble and adds the same electronics and limit switches that I use in the Stewart Platforms. It has just enough range of movement to work as an R2B2 phone-password-cracking robot. I’m especially pleased that I was able to get rid of all the 3D printed parts, which means I can make a kit faster and more reliably with less effort. Of course when this is released all the assembly guides will be on learn.marginallyclever.com and the code will be on github.
