This isn't porny or especially sexy, but here is a video about dorky robots that I've made! I've been planning to shoot this for a while but I needed to collect the guests of honor first. This is a fun trip down memory lane of some of the silly little Arduino bots I've built over the years. You'll understand when you see them why I am very much an *amateur* roboticist, but all of these little cuties functioned well and served honorably.
Essentially, I learned how to write code and understand Arduinos and robotics from building these to use on GonzoVR, an erstwhile VR live broadcasting platform that my former business partner and I created. Like its namesake, my dog Gonzo, it is no longer around, but I keep these as a reminder that sometimes tasks that seem insurmountable are actually more achievable than I think.
As for the robots: we've got Vroommate*, the Treat Dispenser, Upvote Meter, and SlapBot. Harry Plotter couldn't be here with us today as he is in my parents' garage still. Then a few little bits and bobs from the VR camera rigs we've build over the years.
*I meant to note that the little "tail" on Vroommate is actually an upcycled fancy Slurpee straw that I attached to it so that the cables wouldn't get tangled in the wheels.
