Robot development platform. Whitebox Robotics 914. MUST SEE!
* Whitebox Robotics 914 Robot development platform.
* Extremely high quality components (stepper motors, motor control, etc)
* Heavy duty sheet metal and steel construction - very solid!
* Array of infrared sensors for obstacle avoidance.
* Injection molded "skin" - can be painted, sanded, drilled, etc.
* Highly customizable - add off the shelf components, modify the skin, etc.
* iGoLogic i3899 Mini-ITX Motherboard with Intel Core 2 Duo (2.33Ghz).
* Upgraded LiOn batteries
* Run Windows or Linux. (This unit comes with Windows XP home with all service packs) - original disk.
* MSRS - Microsoft Robotics Studio (in beta) see Whitebox Robotics web site for details.
* Standard PC components - add and upgrade using parts from your local electronics store.
* Stands about 21" tall and weighs about 40lbs.
* From the Whitebox Robotics site:
* A robot designed for teachers, researchers, engineers and legacy system developers who need to front real-world applications and robotics projects with a digital face.
* There are five PC-BOT components for Visual Studio. Drive, Messages, Sensors, M3, and ToolBar. A Visual Studio Developer can drag and drop these components in to any Windows forms project. The developer may write their code in any of the .NET supported languages (Visual Basic, C#, J#, C++).
* The 914 PC-BOT, is a Personal Computer complete with inputs for keyboard, monitor and mouse. It is also visually stunning unit designed to evoke a natural attraction and engineered to meet the average person's idea of what a robot should look like. Not only that, the 914 PC-BOT is presented to the market as a richly featured researchers, advanced-technology teachers or system developers, robot engineered out of industry standard hardware and industry standard software.
* Find out more here, on the Whitebox Robotics web site.
* Robot. Complete with skin.
* A/C Power adapter (standard 120V)
* CDs with O/S and drivers.
* Some documentation that I printed out (it's all available online).
* See Detailed specs here...
* See See what Heathkit is doing with the 914 and the software I wrote for the 914... (be sure to click on the flash demo link).
* These Robots sell for around $7000! (click here to see what RobotShop sells them for.
* See the robot in action here, and what others are doing... (Scroll down to see the rotating head mod I did on one of these!)
This is not a toy - this is a serious robotics platform for the serious robotics enthusiast. The 914 PC-BOT requires a general knowledge of how to install and configure PC components and software. While the 914 comes with some basic software - It also requires a knowledge of programming if you wish to write your own software for it.
Why am I selling? - I bought two of these for development (my development is now finished). One I sold recently, and this one has been sitting around, so I am selling to purchase additional robotics parts for another project/
This robot has very little use. It sat mainly on my desk while I did development (coding) for it. It does show some very minor use, but NOTHING of any significance. The Robot works flawlessly.
This is an amazing find for the serious Robotics enthusiast! I hate to part with Samantha (her name), but it's time for my next project.
What can you do with this Robot? Almost anything you can imagine... write your own code, use your imagination. See what others are doing at the link above
