The robot is based on a two-wheeled design with tank-style steering. Controlled by an Arduino Uno, the robot uses a Slamtec RPLIDAR sensor to help map out its surroundings.

The rocket launcher itself is assembled out of off-the-shelf pipe and 3D printed components. An Arduino Uno runs the show, hooked up to a Bluetooth module and a laser rangefinder.

The robot’s hardware was constructed in accordance with the Open Robotic Platform (ORP) rules. This included two DC motors, an UNO R4 Minima, a Bluetooth module, and an SD card.

We powered the sensor stick using the 5 volts out available on the Arduino Uno. I2C also requires pull-up resistors on the data (SDA) and clock (SCL) buses.

By harnessing the power of 3D printing, servo motors, and Arduino programming, you’ll create a robotic arm that responds to your commands through a sophisticated software interface, allowing for ...
