However, rather than a spaceship or a castle, Makebot lets you build far more complex, robotic structures - including a beer pouring robot that can be controlled from a smart phone. As Jason told art view we use uniform modular connectors with colour tags to help you make the right connections, and we plan to have a smart phone app to let beginners interact with their robots without any programming.'
The Chinese firm lead by founder Jason Wang is attempting to raise $30,000 to fund its starter kit - and has more than doubled its target on the Kick-starter site within hours. The Makebot kit will allow users to build a variety of projects, from robots to a replica of Wall-E 'With Make block you can make professional and steady robots, machines or even art-ware. 'The only limit is what you can think of.' However, rather than children's Lego, Make block is slightly more complex. 'With the Make block platform, the only necessary tool is a screw driver.' To show off the system, the firm has released a video showing the creations people can make, including transporter robots and even a beer pouring device. Electronic components, sensors and even DC motors can be added to creations without soldering thanks to specially designed connectors that screw into the building blocks As It's Friday, and I think it's time you all learn where baby circuits come from. Mostly safe for work electronic components orgies after the jump as is it hot in here, or is there just a short brief moment learning indulgence.
As these will provides hundreds of mechanical and electronic components with one main difference - for the grown up version, you'll need a screwdriver to put it together. The kits will be sold for between £12 ($20) and £245 ($399). Make block is an aluminium extrusion based construct platform that can be used to bring your creations to life,' the firm says. Other, more basic creations can include a spider like animal. Creations such as a mobile tank can even be controlled via a smart phone app that uses Bluetooth to communicate with controller blocks.
We have not yet seen something that lets people build robots with the ease and speed of electronic gadgets,' the team say. 'Our goal is to make the ultimate construction platform. You can build platforms with wheels, tanks tracks and rails to move a camera on - and there is even some connectivity with some Lego parts. The unique building block can be slotted together with special screws' Make block is an aluminium version of Lego bricks,' Make block founder Jason Wang told CNN. We've done some work to make the electronics and software friendlier to beginners.
