3D Printer

For the past few weeks we projected and printed several parts for our robot using the 3D Printer: Orca.
And, since it was (and will be) really helpful for us, I thought it would be nice to post something about it.
Here is the 3D printer Orca v042 working:


and some 3d printed parts:

Hello!

Welcome to our blog! 
As you know, we are trying to build a robot that can pour liquid into a glass. For this, we are going to use:
  • IRobot Create
  • Lego Mindstorms NXT 
  • 3d printed parts
  • OpenCV
There will be two motors: one to grab the bottle and the other one to rotate it (like a wrist)
