Let's make a Mini Robot

I have seen plenty of these on YouTube and wanted to make my own. KipKay does a good one and this is virtually a straight copy, the main difference is that I use salvaged parts from an old remote control, an old mouse, and a couple of cheap toothbrushes. I did find that the batteries need to be good ones as both motors run off the same single AA battery when going forward or backwards and with the cheap motors I used this quickly drains cheap batteries. The switches take quite a lot of abuse so you make prefer to bolt them in place rather than use hot glue. I have noticed mine are beginning to split apart so I will probably bolt them down. This is another one I looked at /watch/opb8cBiJS7aJ8 Here are a couple more of mine /watch/Iin6O1qCdMVC6 /watch/02kpLFmzOm_zp I have included the wiring diagram at the end of the video. The components are: 2 small electric motors - 1.5 volts ideally 1 flat strip of metal to mount the motors 2 SPDT switches (Single pole, double throw) The full description of these types of switches is:- Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) Type, 1NO + 1NC Contact, Momentary Action, Lever Arm Actuator, 3-Pin Terminals. You can probably salvage these from old electrical goods or if you can wait order them cheap from eBay 2 AA batteries 1 battery holder (for 2 AA batteries) 1 length of connecting wire 3 medium paperclips 1 small wheel or a plastic bead Some heat shrink tubing would be helpful for making the wheels on the motors I didn't have any and had to improvise. Optionally you may choose to add an on/off switch to save the batteries when not in use. Tools:- Soldering Iron Solder Hot Glue Gun Wire cutters/nippers Pliers Here is a selection of related playlists Beetle Bots Beetle Bots /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB2MaQXroblDgDw_bHxKZKXE Electronic projects /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB00lxaX8BD46F1QDJTe7Em4 Crawlerbots and Robots playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0ypbT8Tr-CZfXPIiaOHUlL Simple electronic projects playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0qd7Hrqoc3II0OU-bx64TA Simple projects playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB2HXSqJPl6Kv9J_pHHp4cIF Electric Toy Cars playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0yTUYmJSS3ML5xxaBzHl3e My Channels GrandadIsAnOldMan https://bit.ly/2T3x6RX GrandadsOtherChannel https://bit.ly/2yW5uYb Put a rubber band on it https://bit.ly/2T3OF4j Number4 https://bit.ly/3cG4fuZ You can help keep my channel running with coffee and cakes at Patreon https://bit.ly/35XFasL If you don't like Patreon, you use Kofi instead https://bit.ly/3dNusI9 Merchandise on RedBubble https://rdbl.co/2yJv56H Merchandise on Cotton Cart https://bit.ly/2xZymOP Merchandise on Teespring https://bit.ly/2Zby02T Twitter https://bit.ly/3fMUgFN FaceBook https://bit.ly/3csbruk Pinterest https://bit.ly/2WTuuXP Instagram https://bit.ly/2WPLa2F Thingiverse https://bit.ly/35WfSem Tinkercad https://bit.ly/2WUrM4q Oldest videos https://bit.ly/2Z4RBl1 Most Popular https://bit.ly/3cx0lUP Newest videos https://bit.ly/2T3TryJ Playlists https://bit.ly/3dI9mdV I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw I am happy for you to show my content as part of your own projects or in public settings, as long as you clearly credit GrandadIsAnOldMan.
