Current Projects

Party Bot

Goal: A mobile suit with a high powered sound system, interactive LEDs, and a way to sync music across multiple bots.

Current status: A first attempt works, but many elements can be vastly improved upon.

Things to work out:

1. Create a new set of shoulder/chest armor with integrated wiring, and space for speakers
2. Create a custom battery pack to evenly distribute weight throughout the chest armor
3. Figure out how to use arduino to set up a mesh network to sync sound (currently using fm transmitter)
4. User arduino to control interactive LED lights - and come up with a better way to mount lights
