Meccano Meccanoid G15-KS

I took a bit of a summer break from writing for my blog, but now I need to share some of the projects I worked on during my  time off. 

 My Meccanoid robot  didn't have good directions on how to put it together.  Sometimes you would have to go back and take one step apart because the directions did not explain it that well.   You would have to pay close attention to the drawings because that’s all the directions really gave you, and sometimes they were hard to see.   It was quite confusing but when it was finished, it could do a lots of impressive things.    It knew how to tango and do ballet, responded to my voice, and told jokes.  It took me about 12 hours to put together but on the box it said for ages 10 and up.

Now into the positives.  One positive thing about it would be that he does have some very impressive skills end I can also program him using only motions.  I think it is pretty cool that I can control him with my phone.  You can also by extra  servos to put on him and the extra  servos will allow him  to move more like an actual human.   His knees do not Bend which is good because if they did the robot would be even more expensive than it already is because it would have to have a bunch of sensors say it's going off balance or something like that.

When we got the meccanoid, his “brain” was dead so we called the company and they sent us a new one quickly and then later we lost the power cord and the company set us a new power cord without charging at all, which was great customer support.

   You can also take apart the “human-like” meccanoid, and rebuild it as a dinosaur. I think that's pretty cool because when you make the dinosaur his tail will actually wag back and forth.   I think it looks sort of like a velociraptor when you put it into dinosaur  forum.  I  brought it into school and all my friends thought it was cool.  Most of my friends don't like robotics that much but  they liked meccanoid.
