I'm working with the Barat Foundation based out of Newark, NJ. They go to different inner-city schools and such and work with students (I'm pretty sure its middle school) to create giant 3 dimensional pieces of art that they call "Animodules". Basically, a bunch of giant 2D shapes put together to create 3D, colorful animals that the kids paint.
They wanted to make one robotic, that could talk and drive around and what not. It would be about 5 feet tall, I have no idea about weight yet as I haven't got to see the material myself yet. I looked into
this but its a bit over budget. Are there any other types of control systems? Does the vex system have enough power to move a robot that could possibly be 20-50 pounds?
Help!
