Skittlebot was built when I found that armbot was too big to come to PyCon Uk 2016. It uses a camera and visual processing to locate coloured objects, and knock them over. See how I built it, see it running, why I made it and how the code was written.
The system uses a Raspberry Pi 3, with a V1 Camera. Motor control is through a 4Tronix PiCon Zero, and the Chassis is a 4Tronix Initio. Powered by a USB power bank + 6 AA batteries.
This robot evolved into my Piwars 2018 robot: • Pi Wars 2018 Raspberry pi Robot first...
The software uses PiCamera, Python and OpenCV.
