built a machine to flip a coin. that’s all it does.

Hitting the coin with 12V solenoid. it took 5 versions to get here. The ONLY thing it does is flip a coin and bring it back to the center for another round.

I launched myself out of my bed

people say the robots i make aren’t considered bad. The frame was tearing apart here. I truly tested the limits of the ikea bed frame, so i do think it fits. There was some cracking from the hydraulics, so i only had a few runs. anyways, enjoy

I Put Air Pistons on my IKEA Bed (my homemade alarm clock, lol)

This was actually pretty interesting/ cool, once i got it together. I didn't expect it to be so responsive. i would like to test the weight capability of the actuators next. if you guys have seen colinfurze; this is similar to his video except my bed is tilting the other way. this reduces the weight, and isn't such a large lever.

My brother built Twitch vs YouTube chat controlled battle bots

I thought this would be appropriate here!

Hope to see some of you on Saturday battling it out for your preferred platform :)
