Reproduction

Sesame Robot

A reproduction build used to practise assembly, wiring, configuration, and microcontroller programming before portable power was solved.

Why I built it

I wanted practical microcontroller programming experience tied to a physical system that made movement immediately visible.

My contribution

I printed, assembled, wired, configured, and programmed the robot without modifying the original source design.

Main constraint

The compact, nonstandard battery bay made a portable power solution difficult.

Observed result

The programmed movement sequence worked visibly during bench testing.

What fell short

It still depends on a bench supply and laptop, so the build is not yet self-contained.

Next iteration

Complete battery-powered autonomous operation and add phone-based manual control.
