Alright, so once you have researched for your robot, and spent several hours wondering how exactly they fit a little person inside r2d2, hopefully you have found a task you want your robot to accomplish. Mine for example, and feel free to use it, is a floor cleaning robot. My designs and ideas were influenced by the Roomba floor cleaner, and M-O from Wall-e. Even though I didn't know what parts I needed yet, I decided to get my ideas out there to see what would fly and what wouldn't. Just get the creative juices flowing, and we'll get to parts in just a bit.
So go ahead and draw. My first designs were extremely simple, giving me a lot of room to improve and become more specific.
Note: If you are doing this to earn the merit badge be sure to secure these designs in you Robot Engineering Notebook.
Here are some examples of my beginning designs:
As you can see, my basic designs were greatly influenced by M-O, the cleaner bot, from Wall-e (below).
