The FabAcademy is over. Eurobot robotics cup, for which I was making a robot as my final project, is over. DIMRobotics, the team I'm member of got 6th rank (about 200 teams participated in total)!!! This is a great result for "DIMRobotics", and I'm very proud of it!
To build the robot, I used 450 parts, from a small screw, resistor, nut, to a 2005 Maxon Motors DC Drive and Raspberry Pi. Total cost of the robot is over $1500. A lot of the parts were made at FabLab. I used Epilog and GCC laser cutters, Modela CNC, FlexiCam, Roland Vinyl cutter, Bits From Bytes, MakerBot, Stratasys 3D printers and a lot of simple tools like dremel or soldering iron.
Robot's brains are built of 3917 lines of code, written in C, C++, Asm, Java, Bash and Python. Over 120 git commits were made.
Because of this Eurobot season, DIMRobotics Youtube channel got 29 subscribers and over 10000 views. I made a video about DIMRobotics participating Eurobot.
Thankfully to FabAcademy, I learned a lot. This experience is definitely worth 99 dollars, 60 cents I spent on travelling from home to the FabLab in Moscow.
Thanks a lot to Neil Gershenfeld for doing very interesting lectures! Thanks to all FabAcademy students for exchanging their experience on the class website.
