Concept: Jengo

Jengo – A robot to play Jenga with

 My concept for a new robot made of the Robot Inventor set includes:
  • a drawing showing the appearance of Jengo and his basic components
  • an exemplary move from Jengo that describes how he will function
  • a list of all motors and sensors and how they are used
  • important things regarding the actual build process
  • basic models of the lifting arm, the wheel and the fingers using rubbery pieces to interact with a Jenga stone
 

Because the “Construction” sheet is not easily readable:

Construction

  • wheel connected to the arm, so that one motor can turn both
  • wheel needs to be lifted automatically while turning, because its friction should not move/turn the platform
  • maximum and minimum arm length limits the possible size of the Jenga tower
  • fingers need to move without the sensors, so they can monitor the progression
  • low gear ratios are fundamental for careful and precise actions
  • all parts should be light and compact
 

I hope you like it and good luck to everyone!
