Kiki's Robotic Table Project v3.5

My Robotic Table Version 3.5
** GEEK ALERT **
This is a blogpost to share with the electronics/robotics community. If you are curious, read on!

This project of mine had gone a long way with several builds and rebuilds. Now it's at version 3.5!
Check out the video!



Attracting attention wherever it goes!


I'm using a new modular system as supporting frames. The extra weight requires more power so I decided to make this new version an 8-wheel system. 


Servo system that drives the door sequence!

Final prototype!


The entire project requires heavy current, so I used a 2650mAh 3S 30C Lipo battery with a 8A UBEC as a power regulator.


Prototype Prototype!!



Looks better with skirting! This is just temporary, my next upgrade should make it look a whole lot better!


Version 4 is going to be exciting! I'm adding a pneumatic system, Arduino programmed LEDs as well as a smoke delivery system! Watch out for it!
