Well, let’s start off with some info on RhinoBOT. You might be wondering what it is. Obviously, the name says it is a robot. It is a 3D printed robot and an open source. Also, it is fun to build and it can be a great experience. It is even easy to expand! In addition to that, it proves to be very useful for educational purposes or as a sumobot.



There is this guy called Miguel Carro who has a DIY robotics blog at thediy.bq.com . Through this blog, he helps to teach children about robotics with the help of a funny cartoon character called Andy. RhinoBOT is his latest printbot on thingiverse.com. He has released all the design files for RhinoBOT. In fact, it is possible to build your own RhinoBOT. All you need is an IR sensor, an LED, an Arduino UNO, 2 rotational servos, a few pieces of hardware and batteries! But, you gotta have a 3D printer.



However, the fun does not stop here. Carro has introduced this new phone app with which you can control the RhinoBOT wirelessly. And, as all the outputs of the UNO are not yet used, you yourself can use a little bit of your creativity and add up extra functionality. Put your thinking hats on and think what you could do with it and put it into action!
