3D Printed Robotoons and Battlebots Run Off of Roboguts

3D printing is bringing robotics to more and more individuals--and at younger and younger ages. Walt Perko is one of those individuals set to help these technologies make their ways to young children, to help them learn by doing and creating. Perko has been developing some robots using his RoboGuts circuit boards to run them, with battlebots featured in his RoboToons Robot Theater. He's planning to launch a Kickstarter soon to sell 500 RoboGuts boards as well as eBooks and 3D printable files. Perko is also seeking a 3D printer manufacturer to sponsor his efforts.

Hi,

Thanks for the post ... The KickStarter campaign didn't get funded, but I did manage to have 50 fabricated and I completed assembly myself using silver solder so they're RoHS Compliant.

I teach for FREE but do accept donations, so far the few students have bought a few of the RoboGuts™ circuit boards and built themselves neat little robots.

Since all the 3D printable part files are online for FREE download that's what people get after they grab the free programming code samples off my R2Pv1.com website.

I hope people take a look at the idea of starting L'Robotorium shops ... it can be done in a garage, your work shop, a living room a spare bedroom etc. The idea is the L'Robotorium shop focuses on small desktop machines ... 3D printers, laser cutters/engravers, CNC Milling machines ... the most important thing is that anybody can use the L'Robotorium shop name with only one caveat ... they must teach and sell RoboGuts™ circuit boards and the "RoboGuts™ S.T.E.A.M. Education Program" http://www.R2Pv1.com/
