Here is a fun little project, build your own mech computer chair and drive it around your office! The M01-Mech robotic computer chair uses a simple bi-ped mechanical walking robot design. It doesn’t move very fast, but it does prove that people can build their own complex robot designs for under $1000. That is cheap for a robot, especially considering the rising cost of building materials. And not only that the M01-Mech can even carry a person around. This walking mechanical chair uses the Parallax Basic Stamp 2 chip to control it. I recommend trying this project out yourself, the Parallax Propeller chip is overall simpler to program than the Parallax Basic Stamp II chip and it costs much less too! Just create an object for driving a a 2 legged robot around and then the code will be simple for the Parallax Propeller chip. I’d like to have my own 2 leg mech to drive around my room too! This 2 leg bi-pod mech is even a chair!
