HomeHi there,
I was sketching around some ideas and was inspired by the 'BugBot' on the development site a few weeks ago...I started to wonder what would happen if modules could be rotated, hinged....even motor controlled......so I sketched up this 'bridge module'...just an idea....would need some serious Mechanical engineering to make it real....does anyone see any value in this idea?...thought I'd throw it out for discussion.

do you see any value in having an articulating bridge modules

@ Smartkd.
this is something we'd have to check, my instinct says it would b difficult to daisy chain devices....we'd have to check in with the BUG engineering team on that one. I know that ECCO design had some early concepts that would allow this to happen by bridging BUGbases.
Very, very cool! Let me ask, is it possiable to make a bug mod that would work like a "hub" allowing multiple mods to be attached on different sides of it?
I think this little bridge peice could have varied uses (although mars robot is clearly the best!)
thanks fro the comments.....did you vote?
jerry! this is amazing!! i could for sure use it the next time i go to mars. but srsly, lots of peole who have visited the test kitchen have wanted to see a robot that could allow the bug to be set facing different ways.
Well,
why not develop a BUG-Lego Mindstorms adapter that exposes some IO ports for the mindstorms connectors and some mechanical integration with the LEGO Technic system? Then I could use this as a much more comprehensive environment instead of the Minstorms brick and LEJOS.
