The World's First Pokemon based robot

Good morning all, I am a Robotic Entrepreneur and I am working on a robot that will behave like a pokemon, I cannot make the robot be called a pokemon because of copyrighted reasons but it is pokemon based; I am very happy about this project and I'd like to thank my network, MakerStudios by Disney for helping fund this project. Expect it very soon.

    thank you, like palmer luckey, I am trying to make robot be available to the common person, usually these things would cost $8000 but I want to try to bring it to around $1000 or less
  • This should be in off-topic as issue is not "VR related" :) Looks great though!

    You're right, and thank you for moving to Off-Topic.(whoever it was)
  • Looks petty cool. Is this your first robot? How are you handling the logic? Are you using arduino, raspberry Pi, something else? Having it be like a Pokemon is kind of vague, as Pokemon are anything from furry rabbit like creatures to giant rocks and keychains. It doesn't look like it's made for fighting, so maybe more like a robot pet?

    This is not my first robot but this is my first network wide funded robot, I will be using both the arduino and the raspberry pi, as well as many different sensors, and it will be running on rechargeable batteries and is wifi capable
    Here's a quick gif of an old test of the eye tracking

    what I meant is that its a robot that you can make fight, level up, learn battle moves, etc. its a game and a robot at the same time
  • It's great to see constructive post from you man.

    Your project looks awesome. :D
