Max's servo break out board



Today I soldered a break out board for Max, so we can connect the servos to Max's micro controller. It was really fun to learn how to solder, my dad said he will show me how to join wires.

Max with wheels

                         Max with wheels


I've added some wheels to max so that he can drive around the house.He has one wheel at the back and two wheels at the front,he can not drive in a strait line because one wheel has a bad motor.You can control max with a x box controller or a phone.He can talk to you when you are bored or sad,you can command him to go forwards,backward,left and right.


We are working on the next version of max which use the AI system from Robbie the robot and ROS to control the motor and arms.

Max the Robot

Max the robot



My name is Matt and I'm ten year's old.I have a robot called Max, that my dad is helping me with. Max only has a head and a body and he can't move around yet because he doesn't have any motors and batteries

I want to use this blog to show the changes of max over time.
