DIY Vivus the Robot

 


This tutorial will show you how to build Vivus the Robot, an autonomous, self navigating little robot. You can get the Vivus the Robot Kit from the BW Science Labs Store here.

Step 1 Chassis

  Your robot kit includes 2 flat wooden boards. Superglue both of these together, one on top of the other. You can use superglue, wood glue, double-sided tape, whatever you have on hand. There, you now have a chassis, or body, that you will build your robot on! You’ll then want to put a piece of double-sided foam tape on each side of your chassis. If you don’t have foam tape, then just about any other adhesive or glue will do the trick.

Hi.

Is this your website Sciguy77? Because I don't think I can find the parts in Saudi Arabia. So i will order it and I will include my p.o.box in USA in paypal transaction is that okay? since I don't wanna send it to SA directly.

 Yeah, also you'd have to program it in BASIC yourself. You could however just go with the kit.
