mBot Robot Bumper

thingiverse

The mBot robot is a very nice kit to teach robotics to kids. While developing some maze solving code, the mBot would sometimes get stuck (see photo). This bumper prevents (most of the time) the mBot from getting stuck. Here's a video of the mBot solving a maze. Post-Printing After printing, attach the bumper to the front of the mBot using two standoffs and to the rear by inserting the bumper into the holes behind the wheels (see the photos). How I Designed This This mBot bumper was designed by Aram Perez, under contract to TechTown, using OpenSCAD.
