cheerBot

The cheeriest bot of em' all. Built during the NodeBots event at JSFest 2014, Hosted at Heroku, on March 8th, 2014.

cheerBot team:

Hardware

The cheerBot is based on the sumo bot with a couple of cheering arms attached to the front. The cheering arms are built using:

  • 2 T-Pro Mini Servo SG-90 9G Servos
  • A hand full of neon cable ties
  • 6 wooden popsicle sticks
  • Some stiff wire to make the arm joints.

The cheering arms design is based on this neat hack.

Software

The happiness inside cheerBot is build with node.js using johnny-five for interaction with the hardware and keypress for controlling via the keyboard.
