Happy Easter holidays!
Blog April 12, 2020

You can hunt for Easter eggs in my RoboSpatium for the first time. The event takes place on April 12 + 13, 2020 for a couple of hours each day. If you'd like to participate in the exploration, you must enter my RoboSpatium and drive Rover number 17.

Have fun!

Parts for Rover R15 arrived
Blog 17. März 2020

The parts for my next Rover project have arrived. It is a project with multiple sponsors being involved:
The vehicle will be based on a so called "hover or balance board" that I got from Gearbest.com.
The electronic components needed to turn the board into a remote controlled vehicle are from RS-Components.
I got the filements needed to print the mechanics from Clemens Mayer (mayermakes.at), with the words "make something". That something will become my largest Rover so far, suitable for outdoor missions so that the sphere of influence of my RoboSpatiums will grow.

I got a pi-top[4]
Blog 18. Februar 2020

The developers of the pi-top company asked if i'd like to start a project with their latest product, the pi-top[4]. My idea to create another Rover for my RoboSpatium was accepted and so the package entered my workshop a couple of days later. The Rover isn't finished yet, but I'd like to give you a first look on the pi-top[4].
