Kre8® Brainy-USB This low-cost 8pin multi-purpose microcontroller in kit or (assembled and tested), when assembled by soldering, makes a versatile control board that can be programmed via a computer using the latest Flowol™ 3 software. It has three outputs, one of which can control a DC motor while the other two can operate LEDs. You You can test and debug your program directly when the ‘Brainy-USB’ board is connected via a suitable USB download cable. When the user has downloaded the program the USB cable is removed for remote autonomous use. Brainy-USB’ is designed to easily integrate with working models, such as a fairground ride made from Kre8 ®, using the corner holes to fix in place. Users connect conn ect to the input or output connections by soldering wires. *Alternatively screw connectors can be soldered in place. ‘Live debug’ in real time (sometimes called ‘in circuit emulation’ or ICE for short)! The Flowol™ 3 software makes easy testing and set up with its powerful facility to program as normal AND also the ability to directly control the Brainy-USB in real time while testing. Responding to PCB input feedback via the USB cable before the program is finally downloaded for autonomous a utonomous use and the USB cable is removed. The Brainy-USB then works independent of the computer and can be taken home as a working project.

Robotic Battle Ball™ Competition Arena

MANUAL CONTROL

This complete system for conducting all-out robotic arm combat is an economical, one time expense for your school because you can use it with all robotic classes. The challenge is to design a robotic arm with an electromagnet head that picks up balls with metal screws through them. The first team to move six balls from the central container and put them in their team’s ball return container is the winner. Robotic arm construction and team work throughout construction and competition are keys to winning. The system includes : an assembled metal arena board (16"x47") with space to mount the robotic arms as well as the ball container, ball return tubes, balls with screws attached, [6] assembled hand controllers on metal bases (three per team), [2] switches for turning on/off the electromagnets (one per team), instructions, drawings PLUS [4] Robotic Battle Ball™ Robotic Arm Kits (enough essential parts for 4 teams—see #841333 for content).

TEAMWORK

Build Your Own™ Battle Ball™ Robotic Arm Since we don’t know the material or design students will choose for their robotic arm, we’ve put together this kit with the parts they must use, such as: [3] syringes, [3] syringe holders, magnet wire, bolt and washers for magnet head, wire, and vinyl tubing for water. In addition, we have added [3] 1”x2”x12” pieces of pine and [2] small aluminum plates. This is an open-ended design competition so we don't provide plans; we recommend purchasing the Hydraulic Robotic Arm Demo Unit (#841329) in order to get ideas. Requires 3 Competition Arena Controllers (#841376) or the Electronic Power Pack Controllers (#841330).
