Build Your Own TeRK Robot With Our Robot Recipes

The VEX Drawing box will draw any image that you feed into it.

The VEXapod is a six-legged walking robot that uses sliding rails in the middle to control locomotion.

The Vex bot is the most basic robot you can build with the Vex robotics kit.

iRobot has released an educational robot based on their popular roomba vacuum cleaner line. The robot, called the Create, has the same capabilities as the vacuum cleaner minus the vacuuming. In this recipe we show how to hook the Create up to a Qwerk, allowing you to program and control it at a distance.

The Flower is a stationary robot with seven degrees of freedom. Once you have built the Flower, you can use TeRK’s Robot Universal Remote and Flower Power software to program its movements. You can program your Flower to rise or wilt and program the motions of its petals. Because the Flower is equipped with IR sensors on three of its petals, it can track objects moving in front of it. It can even catch a lightweight ball.

The AC adapter allows you to power your Qwerk and any connected circuitry from a standard AC outlet. It’s very useful for testing mobile robots and constantly powering stationary ones.

The Qwerkbot+ adds a pan-tilt head to the Qwerkbot Classic base, allowing independent movement of the camera and the robot.

The Qwerkbot Classic is the simplest mobile robot that you can build using a Qwerk processor. Using the holes in the Qwerk enclosure as mount points for two motors and a caster the Qwerkbot recipe turns your Qwerk into a moving robot.
