Disco Boy

Builder: Bruce Romeo
Made from the servos of SpongeBob's legs after I melted SpongeBob while extending his battery wires. Now you know what you can do with AOL disks...

Each leg has 3 DOF and the torso has 1 DOF to move his weight around while walking. He was a quick build before the competition, so I need to redo his legs and straighten them out a little.

For the next competition, I was able to upgrade his legs and add a sensor on the left foot to see a wall. Unfortunately, I also broke his right leg the day before the competition. Here he is with his cast which many people signed the day of the competition.

Side view showing the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Distance Sensor used to check for a wall to walk around.
