    One small suggestion for future missions: doing a loop course will stress the motors on one side a lot more, if you turned your waypoint mission into more of a figure 8 it would even out the work both sides are doing a bit. I love the idea of this bot just trundling around in a field all day, hope your Barbie gearboxes make things work!

      I made a "battlebot" type robot with those kind of motors and won second place against much more sophisticated and expensive competitors. In the end, my choice of surplus, used batteries (batteries were not very affordable back then) is what failed and not the motor packs. I think the only reason that they were not commonly used back then was that they had non-standard drive outputs and 3D printers were not a thing. I ended up taking a welding class, specifically to make adapters for them.

    Now if you add a metal detector and gps based mapping software that records each detection for you to go back and find the metal later-Then you have something!
    Something I invented years ago, you made it possible and automatic once this is perfected. Think of it: you could have this autonomously find metal in large areas, taking most of the leg work out of the equation. Excellent videos, I watch them all.

      For marking, a solenoid controlled spray can, or small flags, fired into the ground, might prove simpler to manage as you don't have to use mapping. Pair that with a a random search pattern, and you'll have detection from multiple directions, to make detection more reliable. Leave in a field for a week, and check the markings armed with your pinpointer only. Could use different colors for ferrous and nonferrous?

    • @Saxutin
      @Saxutin 4 года назад +5

      I have done metaldetecting for years, and i can say this wont work like you said. You need to move detector side to side like once per second. That needs a motor system and causes wobble. Then, metal frame and wires will cause interfearance with the detector. Also, you really need to hear the signals from the detector by yourself so you can skip like nails and stuff like that. That come only with human experience. Cool idea tho

    This is awesome! Consider using wheels with grousers like the Mars rovers. Should work well on soft terrain. For a smaller rover this size I would increase the grouser size in comparison to Curiosity to like 2cm with a 10cm wheel diameter. A simple wheel like that should be 3D-printable as well!
