13. You can add the adjuster clip (E) to adjust the direction of the robot if it moves towards the left or right. If the robot moves towards the
right, add the adjuster clip to the left leg to make the robot walk straight. Slide the small part along the robot foot (C) to complete the
calibration process.

F. TROUBLESHOOTING
•
Make sure each robot foot was inserted into the leg joint holder before the robot leg so that the robot does not wobble. Refer back to
step 5 and 6 to check if the foot and leg were inserted properly into the leg
joint.•
Add cooking oil or lubricant
to
the gears inside the
gearbox if the robot
isn't
moving
smoothly.•
Check that the end of each robot arm
is in
front of the robot legs
to
prevent damaging any
robot
parts.•
Check if the wires connected
in
step 4 are secured properly by the peg. Make sure the wires are
only
connected
to
like
colors.•
Make sure the AAA batteries are inserted
in
the correct direction.
•
If the robot
is not
walking straight, check if the
robot's
feet
make solid
contact
with the ground. Slightly bend and adjust the metal wires of the
robot
feet
so that
they
contact
the ground properly
on
each step.
G. HOW IT WORKS
The circuit you created
by
connecting the battery case
to
the gearbox and
robot
head allows
an
electrical current
to
flow
smoothly
when
the battery
is
turned
on.
The
on
switch completes the circuit and lets
an
electrical current flow
into
the gearbox and
robot
eyes, bringing
the Wacky Robot
to life!
This
happens
because
a battery
always
has
two
poles; a
positive
one
and
a
negative
one.
At
the
positive pole,
there are
very few electrons, while
there are a lot of electrons at the
negative
pole.
If
the
positive and negative
poles are
connected,
electrons
move
to correct the
imbalance, creating
an electrical
current. The
robot
head and gearbox
are then able to transform the
energy
from the electrical current into movement and light.
H. FUN FACTS
•
A
team at the
Korea Institute
of
Science and Technology created
a
sprinting
robot
inspired
by a
velociraptor dinosaur. The robot, named
raptor,
has
two
nimble
legs and
a
flexible
tail so it can balance itself
while running
at a top
speed
of
46 kilometers
an
hour. That
is
even
faster than the
Olympic gold medalist
Usain Bolt’s top speed!•
There
are
over
a million
industrial
robots in
use
today!
Over
half of them
are
working
hard for people in Japan!•
The
term 'robot' comes from the
Czech word
'Robota', that means 'hard work' or 'forced labor'.
A
great
name for these
human inventions
that help
humans
complete lots of work
without getting
tired or
making
a mistake!•
Asimo,
a
humanoid
robot created by Honda, is the most
expensive
robot and cost $2.5 million to
build. It
was created as part of Honda's research
and development robotics program.
