Let's Build Knex S2 - Ep3 - Robot Project: Tape Erase and Writing
Channel: Shadowman39
Date: 2021-05-01

In this episode, we make the tape speed faster for better robot accuracy later on. An erase module is added to reset all the pins on the tape to the neutral position, to make it easy in the future to write new programs without having to reset the tape manually. We also begin work on the write head and the controls for it. This will make it more convenient to program the robot rather than having to handle the tape pins directly. There wasn't enough time in this episode to test the write function; that will come in the next episode.

"Let's Build Knex Season 2" is a series of videos showing me building a fully mechanical Knex robot arm, which will be programmable and teachable.  This project is mainly just a proof of concept; I'm not sure how accurate and useful it will actually be, but I'll try to make it be as accurate as possible.


I hope you enjoy!
