Thinking of a robot which can draw basic shapes upon command. Ideally, a voice command, but if that’s too complex, we can start off with a different type of command. I’m a python programmer, but have zero experience with adruino and the like. Please give me some advice to help me get started.
Dude, if you need your 9 year old daughter’s help with this, I think you should try something more basic.
One of her classmates did a jumping robot for this science fair, and she’s now pumped about building her own robot for next year. It would mostly be me, but I’ll teach her stuff and she’ll hopefully pick up knowledge about these things over the course of building this. It’s only due next year, so we have a whole year.
Bruh my ex defended her bachelors with a project exactly like this. It involves a CNC machine (stepper motors, drivers, control board, frame, CNC senders), servoes to pick up / put down the pen so it doesn’t constantly draw etc.
It isn’t a science fair project and will cost a shitload to make. Voice activation is also another beast entirely.
I built two homemade CNCs for milling, if you don’t know what you are doing, then it will take half a year to understand everything, wire it, setup a frame etc. Impossible to do for a 9 year old (and I don’t think science faires are for the parents to make shit for their kids)
A Spirograph attached to a microprocessor controlled motor?
Tie a texta to a BeeBot, as a prototype.
