SlushEngine - Kickstarter - Raspberry Pi Motor Driver

Have you every tried to create a Kickstarter campaign in under 24 hours? Well that's exactly what Reiner and I did on April 16-17, 2015. We have been working on a stepper motor driver for a collection of delta robots that we built for a university and college here in Ontario. We built ten of them, and in doing so we designed a pretty cool board we're calling the SlushEngine: Model X. The SlushEngine is an advanced motor driver that works with the Raspberry Pi to move stepper motors with precision, speed, and simplicity. Reiner and I have always talked about...

Roboteurs launches Print-A-Bot 3D printable robot arm for teaching design & programming

After all, even if you know your way around a 3D printer most online tutorials and projects expect a fairly detailed understanding of engineering, programming and electronics basics. While most of that can obviously be learned over time, those of us who’ve just bought a 3D printer because we enjoy making little plastic objects for ourselves are easily scared off. That’s exactly why we...

Education for the 21st Centrury - 3D Printed Robots

Posted by Justin Policarpio on

Welcome to our new website @ Roboteurs! We have been working a lot behind the scenes on Roboteurs - looking at different products lines and where we really want to focus. Two of our Robot collections got some great reviews from our university and college customers. The ORCA below (Off Road robot with Central Articulation) was a really cool design. It's based off an original moon rover design. We're completing a batch of LearnBots as well. These were a part of our Table Top Robot collection. These robots mimic industry standard robots. Less cost for the educational institution, and more...
