Rapid robots workshop
Workshop with Niklas Roy
School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe, Berlin / 2014
The Rapid robots workshop was organized as a part of the “Let’s Get Physical!” program of School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe at the FabLab Berlin. The workshop started with opening colorful gift bags that contained three RC servos, a lollipop and other robot making essentials. The plan was to get physical with cutting knives and welding rods and to build a moving robot.
The first days of the workshop involved rigorous prototyping with the servos, cardboard, plastic pieces, clothes pins and loads of tape. Thorough material research was also done by exploring a pile of one Euro shop trash and treasures from our basement. It did not take long until fake Crocs and a miniature Barbie started to take the shape of a robot with the help of an Arduino!
