Cardbot felt quite lonely, so I wanted to create a little sibling for him. 🙂 Jokes aside I thought it would be cool to iterate on the single robot on have a second one so they can interact with eachother.
And this time I wanted to opt for a more compact design for better mobility and also add a gripper. I also ordered a fisheye lens for my Raspberry Pi for a bigger viewing angle.
The little headlight LED I added reminded me of an Anglerfish as well – I thought it was cute. But it is actually really useful to navigate the bot in the dark, with the added bonus to be able to turn it off. All in all this bot has better suited components than Cardbot and is more well rounded (pun may or not be intended).
