Bill of Materials
This open source hardware project contains no parts.
Steps
. Bend coat hanger
Take the part of the wire hanger that doesn't have the hook on it and cut off any curved parts. Bend it like shown in the picture.
. Insert rear leg
Push the new leg through the hole in the switch. This will allow the leg to pivot and activate the switch when the robot is lifted off the ground. Tape the leg to the silver lever of the switch the keep the leg from popping out.
. Secure front legs
Push a wire through the slits made on each side of the switch. Wrap the wire around the middle of the front legs and tie it down. This will keep the front legs from pivoting. -=*=--=*=- Now, upload the Portal_Turret.pde sketch to the RBBB. Format the SD Card again with the same settings as last time. Then convert your sound files to the proper format, and rename them like in the picture. The files LFT* are played when the turret is lifted up. The SEE* files are played when the PIR sensor detects movement. The TLT files are played when the turret is tipped over and the tilt sensor is triggered. POWERON.wav is played when the turret is turned on. I can't distribute the sound files I used for this project because they are copyrighted by Valve. You can easily find turret sound effects elsewhere on the internet by searching Google with the right keywords.
. SEW PLUSHIE SHELL
Helpful Tips:
-A running stitch is sufficient for all stitches.
-Make sure to start the stitch so that the knot is on the same side as the seams and will end up inside the plushie. For stitching the white leg shields, start and end the knot on the underside of the leg.
-Sewing pins may be used to help align and secure pieces in place while sewing.
-A stuffing tool can be used to make filling the legs with fiberfill easier.
