KEPLER’S GARDENS

Young Creatives u10 Honorary Mention

The remote-controlled robot was assembled with LEGO Technic bricks. To power its legs, it has two motors that can be controlled independently of each other by remote control. This enables it to walk not only forward and backward but also in curves to the left and right. Its four legs are attached to each other in pairs to make it more stable. In addition, with every step it takes, the robot briefly comes to rest on its stomach.

Through this special form of movement, the robot is stable in every position and cannot fall over. A loading flap, which can be moved up and down manually by means of a linear drive, is located on the back of the robot. In this way, it is possible to drop down a small motorcycle with which the robot’s driver can ride across terrain that the robot cannot navigate (for example in a forest).
