In a week, I travel to Vienna to participate in Roboexotica, the festival of cocktail serving robots. I’m bringing the Cherrytron 2000 with me. It’s a robot to put cherries in drinks!
Late in the evening Eric Skiff jumped in to make the code happen and the whole project came together in one night. Eric also provided the excellent soundtrack that he created with nanoloop. Adam Cecchetti gets credit for starting the original prototyping with me. The arm is made with Raphael Abram’s Twitchie Kit plus a few servos I pulled out of a broken RC helicopter that Joel Johnson and rubber bands!
Eric will have the code up momentarily for you to review and if you don’t want to use popsicle sticks, you can download the cherrytron 2000 design files and lazzzor cut the parts for the arm on thingiverse.
I’m torn, I really love the popsicle stick aesthetic. Should I take them off and make it all shiny and red with acrylic parts? Help me decide in the comments!
You can download an HD video file or a smaller more portable file. Have you missed an episode? Watch them all at bre.blip.tv, vimeo.com/bre, or youtube.com/brepettis. Don’t miss a one if you subscribe in itunes!
